“I am deeply impressed with this work. It shows a great deal of knowledge about computers, but more than that, it tells how to apply computers to your area of expertise. In my experience this is something that is sorely needed, not just in your area of expertise but in many other non computer professions.” – Mike Burks Chairman – ICDRI (International Society for Disability Resources on the Internet)

“WOW! This is going to be a very helpful tool! Joan, what an effort, and what a contribution. I am grateful and I applaud you!” – Darlene S. Williamson, M.A., CCC/SLP, Executive Director, Stroke Comeback Center
