Here's how you can get started using the internet to get information and use email.

Computer
The easiest and least expensive computer is a tablet, such as an iPad (about $400 from Apple in Bethesda) or Samsung tablet (about $   from Micro Center in Rockville). You don't need to get the ones that use cell phone signals.

(The new tablets are better than using an old computer.)

Comcast service and equipment
Call Comcast at 855 638 2855. Ask for the Bulk Service Department.

Tell them you are just starting. Ask for the lowest cost internet speed, which will cost about $30/month for the first year, then $67 after that, billed directly to you. (Leisure World didn't negotiate a bulk rate for internet service.) To get online using your tablet anyplace in your home, without a wire, you use what's called Wi-Fi. Ask to rent their Wi-Fi unit. That will be about $___/month. Schedule an appointment and they'll come to set you up.
