Free Computer: Freecycle, Ottawa Giveaway Day
Computer Coaching for Seniors Ottawa Canada
If you are looking for a computer, how about a used one? You don't need a powerful computer if all you are doing is going on the internet and reading your e-mail.
In fact, there is a chance you can get the computer for FREE. A lot of people are buying the latest computers and do not know what to do with their old ones.
Try asking family and friends, if they know someone who wants to give away their computer. You could also look in Ottawa Freecycle. This is a place where people post, kind of like a classified section in a newspaper, objects that they want to give away, like computers :). And if all else fails, then take advantage of Ottawa Giveaway Day Saturday June 23 2007. On this day people in Ottawa will leave on their curb objects they don't need anymore and anyone who wants it can pick it up. If you miss it this year, keep an eye out for it next year because this is a yearly event.

How Much Is It To Send Snail Mail?
Computer Coaching for Seniors
You would like to send something through mail (snail mail that is) but you don't remember if a 49 cents stamp will be enough to cover the cost. You could ask your friends but then you know they will lead you down the wrong path (given the evidence from the last few weeks).
Well do not despair. Hop on down to the Canada Post website. There you will find all the information you are looking for and more.

Let your computer plan your next Road Trip
Computer Coaching for Seniors Ottawa Canada
Your best friend Charlie has never been to Eastern Canada and wants you to go with him to visit several cities in Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. Since you are the one who knows how to drive, you have been given the task to create a driving route.
One easy way to do this is to use Google Maps. By clicking on the "Get Directions" link, Google lets you specify a "Start Address" and an "End Address". The website will then output a map of the driving route but will also write out the directions in text which is useful because Charlie is not very good at reading maps :).
For the weather, you can get a full report at the Environment Canada website. You select the cities you are interested in and the website will tell what the weather will be like.
