I stumbled upon a piece of software known as “Eldy” recently, and I was very impressed!

It is similar to Big Buttons in the way it makes useful computing tasks simple and intuitive to access:

Eldy is a great piece of free software for seniors!

I think that this software is fantastic for those seniors and other computer users who do not wish to learn about more advanced computing tasks.

Big Buttons is not as self-contained as Eldy and is more of a pair of training wheels in the sense that a user of Big Buttons will still have to ride the bike in order to move forward (i.e. know how to save a document in a word processor and use the ‘back’ and ‘forward’ buttons in the Internet browser). Eldy is more like a motorised wheelchair, to follow this analogy.

I recommend that you try Eldy and Big Buttons and see which is more useful for you!
