Seniors surf the net with MIS club Mention the Internet to some senior citizens, and you can almost feel their sense of anxiety, or you will hear, "I don't need it, there's nothing in it for me!"

"I wanted to look into shopping for books, and the young man showed me several places and how to tell if it was secure for my credit card," said Pauline Gornick, one of the attendees. "I hope we can do this again," added Helen Longo. The club has already received requests for future classes covering such topics as word processing and basic com puter operations. Finance was taken to not assign club mem bers to seniors with whom they were related. That helped remove some embarrass ment and open the door to questions." During the
