- "I am glad to see someone trying to write BETTER not BIGGER
software. True programming skill is displayed not by what the
program can do but how efficiently it works. A Sherman tank can get you
to work but it is not efficient and you have a real problem parking
between the lines! I have been so disappointed in the direction
programming has gone especially in the last 5 years. Your effort to
write clean, compact code is refreshing. Good Going"... Candice
K. Becker, Software Tester with 10 years experience as of 4/22/99.
Moron Note: I didn't know or hear from Ms.
Becker before she sent the above unsolicited email message. When
she graciously granted permission to have her quote
appear here she suggested that I just use her first
initial to avoid gender bias (quote wouldn't hold as much weight if
readers knew she's female). This obviously technically
proficient, intelligent, literate, witty, professional has apparently
run into people who questioned her technical competence solely
because she's a she! I hope whoever is reading this
disagrees with those morons as much as I (Ray Poshadlo) do... Thanks
again CANDICE!
- "I really do think this is cute, easy to use, and a good thing
to have as a reminder. Maybe it will eliminate some of my notes that I
scatter all over the place"... Linda Reinhardt, Mail order
customer.
- "I like this program so much I ordered it tonight" ... Paul
Langevin, Download customer (after trying the demo version)
- "I don't know why no-one has thought of something like this
before"... Mike Wendland ("PCMike")... "PC Talk"
radio program, AM1270, WXYT, Detroit
- "I love your Stop Button program"... Download customer.
- "I just found and was charmed by your typing program,
You'll Soon Be Typing. As a self-respecting engineer, I've been
completely frustrated by all these ridiculous monster heavy-media typing
programs, and it was a relief and a delight to find yours. The
very fact that the program allows user control over lesson choice is
terrific. Thanks!"... Diana Reed, Director of Technology &
Computer Science Teacher, The Girls' Middle School.
- "The most useful, comprehensive and enjoyably different typing
course that I've seen. Covers important topics and keys that others
ignore" ... Julie Wright, Educator.
- "I hate most tutorials since they do such a poor job. This is
the only program I've seen that thoroughly teaches and continuously
stresses correct keyboarding techniques... It keeps
students' hands on the keyboard where they belong and it focuses their
attention on learning how to type properly... I often have to break
bad habits that students picked up from other
tutorials that focus more on fun and games than learning."
... Taken from comments made by several professional typing
eductors.
- "Incredibly fast, lean and sophisticated. It proves that modern
programs need not be slow, sloppy, disk and RAM hogs. It's a software
masterpiece" ... Robert Kutnick, Computer Engineer.
- "Disk space [required] is virtually non-existent for a program
of such quality. I was surprised!... Better than outstanding [regarding
12 screen keyboard layouts] ... Common sense/basics are often
overlooked [in other typing tutorials]" ... A desktop
publishing and computer support professional.
- "I really enjoyed the ease of this program. Everything is so
self-explanatory... I had no problems or bugs... I
really did enjoy it" ... A high school student with 5 years of
computer experience.
- "There's almost too much help on screen"...
The third party observer of this college student was incredulous as he
asked him to repeat a comment that he never heard about software
before... The author nearly fell off his seat when he heard this one.
- "I love the outlines of the hands on the keyboard & inset of
moving finger... Great features!... Clean and simple
user interface... Appreciate thought that went into it... Great
graphics... Keep the humor... [I really like the]
ability to edit lessons.... No bugs... no problems" ... A
teacher, help-desk professional, and computer consultant with over 15
years of computer experience.
- "My heart started to race [his response to the game-like pacer
line] when I did the [first] practice drill. I did it 4 times trying to
beat my previous record... The box with the hand in profile is a good
visual aid on the type of hand movements discussed... Lots of info to
help stay in the correct [hand position & posture]
position"... A systems analyst with 12 years
computer experience.
- "I really like it... I'm going to have my kids
learn from it!" ... A teacher & computer consultant.
- Humor was good. Not too much. It's not something
they will see all the time, so it works... Good cautions on
pain... On-screen keyboard is great!" ... An account
rep for a major software vendor and part-time teacher (also former
help-desk professional).
- "I liked the animations and your corny jokes
the best" ... A bright, 9 year old computer enthusiast.
