About Me

Grandma & new Great-Grandma (less than 2 mos); love to read. Yes, paranormal & historical romances - love those alpha heroes, even at my age. Do not do any social sites as I have so much else I can be doing instead of sitting for hours reading so much trash... hate the lies spread by all the political groups and do not appreciate the lack of real privacy.

How I Can Help

Don't know that I can be any help - I'm a tech-challenged senior who is frustrated with certain aspects of the Internet.

Interests

Sign petitions 4 several sites, do surveys, quilt, crochet, x-stitch; also a fair-weather walker.

This site has both free and to-buy audi books. They have their own download player, which does the books all at one time, instead of downloading chapter-by-chapter like most other sites. I've downloaded about twenty of the free books, mostly classics, and have had no problem with the download to my computer or transferring and listening on my MP3. They also have some pretty good books on sale. I've bought and dowloaded several old radio broadcasts of Sherlock Holmes. Enjoyed immensely. Had a problem with one download but emailed them and it was taken care of - my computer, not the site's problem. Reccommend it to anyone who likes to listen to books and some old radio.

Still not through cleaning up after the mess McAfee left in my computer. McAfee is very well-known for not doing clean installs, leaving remnants of their old software. They didn't do a clean install of my renewal... they didn't even update when I renewed. I had bits and pieces of McAfee, none of which protected my computer. Now, I've had to uninstall all their bits and pieces, clean up the viruses McAfee said I didn't have, and get rid of some malware, undetected by McAfee.
Save yourself some headaches and your computer from getting sick by never taking a chance on McAfee. Of course, all the problems I had happened after the "30-day" money-back guarantee! I'm out money for TWO renewals because I'm a novice and didn't realize until too late, after the damage had been done, that McAfee didn't protect me.

Been buying games here for over a year now and love this site. You don't have to be a member to buy their games, or take advantage of some great sales. If I have any problem, I just email them and get a quick reply, usually with an answer right then. The people are friendly and very helpful, especially to a tech-challenged senior like myself. Even my mom, 87 yrs old, is now getting ready to buy her first game.

  • Jenkat Games

Have been downloading their free games for about a year. Any problems I may have with a game, I just email Jenkat and get a swift reply, usually with an immediate answer to my problem. Jenkat is courteous, prompt and very helpful. Even my 87-year-old mom has started downloading games from Jenkat - she's having a blast.

UPDATE... Since mid-2014 Jenkat has been having problems with their downloader. You don't see what you're accepting/declining so may end up with adware/toolbar... WOT hasn't liked it either. Now most, but not all games are downloaded via Big Fish Games or iWin game managers... free trials or ads only choices, unless you want to buy the games. NOT RECOMMEND unless make changes back to old way of doing.
