Computer Lady Donates How-To Books to Local Non-Profits

Aurora, CO, August 3, 2007 -- Barb Walker, known as the Computer Lady, and local author of 3 how-to books on using a computer has donated over 200 copies of her books to 2 local charities. The non-profits, Denver Tech For All and G&S Mountain Recyclers, donate working computers to seniors, young people, and non-profit groups.

“I’m delighted to be able to get these books into the hands of kids and seniors who can use them,” says Walker. “Readers tell me these are the first computer manuals beginners can actually understand, which was my purpose in writing them. You shouldn’t need a degree to learn to use a computer!”

Denver Tech for All (www.denvertechforall.org) has donated over 200 computers (so far this year) to seniors and young people. Rose Keating, founder, says the books are a great addition to their services.  “I believe that Barb’s Taming Your Computer books will give our families the confidence to really use their computers.”

Gary Cruson, CEO of G&S Mountain Recyclers (www.mountainrecyclers.com) has donated over 100 computers (so far this year) to non-profit groups. Among the recipients have been Goodwill Industries, Denver Options, Family Tree, Imagine, and the MS Society. “Our nonprofits need these computers for their clients. Being able to add Barb’s instruction books is a great added value!”
