My wife and I have been performing music together (banjo and accordion) in retirement & nursing homes for over 40 years. We have found that a good mix of nostalgia sing-along songs, instrumentals, some notable history of select songs and a few jokes go a long way to providing well rounded entertainment for the seniors.

One of the best uses of MP3s is to store your entire CD collection on your computer which makes it instantly accessible. Most MP3 software will help you list and organize your files by artist, song title, album, and more. Apple iTunes Rating: Price: Free Media Monkey Rating: Price: Free Media Monkey is what I use. Much easier than iTunes. How do you get started with MP3s? The first thing you need is some MP3 playing software. The great news is that all modern computers come with some sort of MP3 playing software. For example, Windows Media Player can play MP3s and CDs, create MP3s, play DVDs, play online audio and video and this player comes with Microsoft Windows. If your computer does not have any software then there are plenty of free players available on the Internet, such as VLC Media Player. Now that you have some MP3 software you need some music to play on it. If you want to store your CD collection as digital then you need to copy your music files to your computer, and convert them to MP3 format. This process is known as ripping. In order to rip your music files to your computer you need a ripping program. My personal favorite is a free program called CDex. Ripping guides: CDex Windows Media Player Once you have MP3 files on your computer, you're now free to play them when you want, and you can put your old CDs away in the garage along with your old vinyl records. Another popular method of getting MP3 files is to download them from the Internet. This is great because you can get the music files at a fraction of the cost of buying a CD, and you don't even have to leave your chair to buy them! One of the most popular places to download MP3 files is iTunes, which has millions of songs, some as cheap as 99c. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle []).push();

"If you're primarily interested in a home desktop computer, the Telikin, which has been on the market for over two years now, is an excellent option. Ready to go right out of the box, this all-in-one touch-screen computer provides a big button menu that displays all your favorite functions on the screen at all times. By simply touching the menu option of your choice with your finger, you can get instant access to the Web, email, games, video chat, photo sharing, news, weather and more. Available in two sizes -- the 18-inch LCD touch-screen with a 320-gigabyte hard drive, ... and the 20-inch LCD touch-screen with 500-gigabytes ... -- all Telikin computers come with built-in speakers, a Web camera, microphone, wired keyboard and mouse. They even offer "tech buddy" software that your loved ones can download on their computers, so they can access your Telikin remotely to help you when need be. Running on Linux software instead of the standard Windows or Mac OS, the Telikin is also virus-resistant, comes with a 60-day trial period, a one-year warranty and free tech support."
"To judge by the eighty somethings at my church who pester me for technology advice, you're never too old to start using computers, although statistics suggest otherwise. According to the Pew Internet and American Life Project, less than a third of US citizens over the age of 75 ever go online. A Pennsylvania company called Venture 3 Systems LLC figures that's because today's personal computers are just too difficult to use. Well, they've certainly solved that problem. Their new Telikin, is a desktop device that serves up all the pleasures of the Internet, with hardly any of the frustration. Telikin attacks the problem from two angles. Like everybody else, seniors find computer software confusing and hard to operate. Older users also must cope with fading eyesight and trembling fingers, which make it hard to read tiny on-screen menus or steer a computer mouse. So Venture 3 bought and adapted a bunch of touchscreen computers made by Micro-Star International Co. of Taiwan. The touchscreen means that users can bypass the mouse and tap onscreen icons to control vital features. As for software, Telikin abandoned Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating system, replacing it with its own secret sauce, a customized version of the free Linux operating system. That means that standard Windows programs, from Microsoft Office to Modern Warfare 2, won't run on the Telikin. But on the upside, Telikin features a bold, simple user interface that's far easier for beginners than any Windows box. Users get painless, instant access to the computer's most valuable services simply by touching a few on-screen icons. At start-up, you see the latest news headlines, the weather, notices of any incoming messages, and even a lovely landscape photo and an inspiring quote for the day. Along the left edge of the screen are icons to activate Telikin's key features. Touch an icon, and there's your e-mail box. Touch another, and you see a selection of popular websites about news, weather, entertainment, or religion. Pick the site you want, and a simplified version of the Firefox browser brings it to you. Want to video chat with the grandkids? Another icon launches the Skype Internet chat service and a directory of friends and relatives. A webcam and microphone are built into the MSI computer; touch the screen to place the call. I found video resolution to be mediocre, but the sound quality was excellent. The Telikin (Touch) has a 320-gigabyte hard drive (500GB in Telikin Elite) for saving important documents, photos, and videos, and its built-in DVD drive lets it double as a movie player. It's easily connected to any home broadband system with an Ethernet port or a built-in Wi-Fi wireless system."
"The Telikin Elite ll - 22" Touchscreen Wow! Computer is excellent and practical for business or personal use - for any age. It contains the essentials, extras (DVD, CD, photos, weather...), and is easier to use. The free telephone computer Support has been patient, available, and has a can-do attitude. For example, (1) Although my business website was not directly, identically transferable, the Support built a new, similar website (that required a small website fee), and (2) My other MP3 player was not compatible but the Support found an (inexpensive) Eclipse MP3 player with memory card that downloaded songs. Also there are some reasonably priced HP printers/copiers that are compatible with this computer. The set-up was simple, my e-mail transferred easily, and all documents sent have been readable (not so with my Dell Computer). It is a time-saver for shopping online, etc... since it is well-organized and does not freeze."
"Over the years I've looked at several computers which were "senior friendly". In the past, they all pretty much were shells over Windows, which essentially added another layer of code that could go wrong. This computer is Linux-based, and everything is coded from the ground up for senior use. Although my mother is not a complete technophobe, she is not comfortable with technology, and my father retired early rather than deal with computers in his business, so he would never allow one in the house. A couple years ago she bought an HP laptop and hired a woman to help her set it up and learn how to use it. SInce the woman was a senior herself, we thought this might work out ok. It has been a disaster. There were so many cautions and "don't do this" and different menus involved that she would get frustrated and eventually quit trying. Add to this trying to deal with at&t's email system and she hasn't gone near it in months. A couple weeks ago she decided to give it another go and things turned into a complete farce, until I finally figured what the consultant had done and also determined that there is an apparent fault in the keyboard. Then my mother spotted this computer in the aarp magazine (it is marketed there under another name -- but it is the same machine-at the same price,). When it first arrived and she opened the box and saw cables and a keyboard box she felt a little intimidated and was ready to send it back, but she called the company and calmed down a bit, and then told me about it and showed me the ad. When I went online I realized it was the same machine that was getting good reviews and that nothing else out there seems to be in the same class, so I convinced her it give it a try. There is a 60 day trial period, during which she gets free "VIP" service, which normally runs about $10 a month. On the day I was set to help her set it up, she opened the box, and, following the pictures in the manual (which runs to almost 100 large-type pages), had everything connected before we got there. While she and my wife were talking, I had it up and running.in about 10 minutes (or less). We set her up with a new gmail account and within a few minutes she was in front of the machine. To begin with, she was impressed with how bright the screen was (although it can be adjusted) and how easy everything was to read. When I showed her how she could navigate using the touch screen buttons down the left side she was thrilled. She was happy that she didn't have to log in (you can set it up for different users but we didn't need to) The web home page has links to pretty much the web pages she'll most need, but additional sites can be added. All the links are at least one inch buttons and logos as well as names and, of course, operate by touch. She was pleased that she doesn't need to use the mouse and only needs the keyboard when actually putting information in. We had a minor issue with email and called the support number. They are open until 8pm eastern time and we called at 7:55. After about a two minute wait, the US based support person answered. You could tell it was end of the day, but the person talked us through the issue. Try calling any other computer company five minutes before tech support closes and see how far you get. When you do need to make changes in settings, sometimes they take a while to propagate and you think they haven't taken effect, but they have We walked my mother through the menu system and showed her how to shut down the computer, then had her re-start it and play a game of solitaire. I told her to practice using the touch screen (she tends to press harder than necessary but remove her finger too fast) by playing with the game, and also to practice her mouse skills (which she'll still need on some web sites) The important point we emphasized is that she can't hurt the machine or lock it up. If she gets in any trouble all she has to do is hit the "home" button at the upper left and start over. She's already spent more time with this machine than she ever did with the laptop; And that's the important point. This review has already rambled on too long, but there are many features of the operating system that were clearly thought through for seniors and those uncomfortable with computers for whatever reason. And you can't mess it up. That, more than anything else, makes it worth while for my mother. All software, security, and system updates are sent automatically by the company, so there are no annoying popups or emails.or concerns about how to download and install. I've seen complaints in other reviews about the cost of this computer because the physical machine could be purchased for half the price and installing outside programs is basically not possible. These completely miss the point. The simple, unbreakable OS with all the basics (email, web, skype, basic office applications, pdf reader and more) on a large bright touch screen and support that is geared toward novices and actually answers the phone are the whole point of this machine. That is what you are paying for, and, in my estimation it is well worth it. "
