Six sessions of "Surfin' For Seniors," classes designed for senior adults who have little or no experience with computers and the Internet, are scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 6 and Thursday, Sept. 7. Classes will be held in Coastal Carolina University's Society House computer lab. The fee for each session is $15.

Following a brief overview of the Internet, participants will be paired with student instructors for a surfing session which will explain how to use the World Wide Web, send e-mail to family and friends, get discount airline tickets, tour the world's greatest museums, access medical information and much more. These sessions are designed to help participants decide whether to invest in a computer or learn how to use the one they have.

The dates and times of the sessions are Wednesday, Sept. 6: 9 to 10:30 a.m.; 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., or 1:30 to 3 p.m.; and Thursday, Sept. 7: 9 to 10:30 a.m.; 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., or 1:30 to 3 p.m.
