GazelleNet:

GazelleNet is a software program for senior citizens and visually challenged individuals. The program allows users to surf and use the internet simply and easily.

GazelleNet was written in 2009 as a small program called Senior Web Helper. The inspiration came from an elderly client of mine. I first met Bob M. when I was referred to him for some computer problems. After working with Bob I realized how much he wanted to be online and I also discovered how much he struggled at times. So I started a short list.

The list turned into a small program that I delivered to Bob. I would install it and let Bob use it, while I watched his reactions and listened to his comments. From all of this the small program turned into a real slick system.

Some of the features are listed below.

Single user or multiple user for assisted living homes Personalized settings, color schemes and display size Password protected using easy to remember pin numbering system Easy to read interface Categorized favorite

Web page interface for add-ons and extras Listen to your favorite music streamed from the web while you surf Small footprint for the software Simple user interface Automatic web updates

You can download a copy of the software in the member area in 2011.
