Free Software Makes Computers Easier For Oldies

November 24, 2009 | By Kim Walker

Reported recently on the BBC, Eldy (known in the UK as Simplicity) is the first easy software dedicated to the elderly, from European Eldy’s non-profit organization.

Eldy allows seniors use computers and enjoy the Internet revolution, by providing a software that allows easy access to all the most important functions: e-mail (any pop3/imap account), chat, Web browsing, weather, text editor, streaming and a lot more.

As the name implies, this software is more for older people with little or no experience using computers. You can download the software free from the website after promising to teach someone older how to use it. Nice touch.
