In today's business world with so many ongoing disputes it's a pleasure to be writing this short note.
Petra, our developmentally disabled daughter, always expressed an interest in being able to use computers, for much more than 'gaming', but being able to understand and use a computer to the same extent as others of her generation. Using standard software, to design, express herself in words, and communicate with friends and relatives via email. We brought you on board ~ TwinBytes ~ and you devised a programme that Petra was readily able to understand. You are to be congratulated, the project you devised for Petra was more than a straight forward learning experience. You resolved many of the complicated technical aspects in a fun way, without any stress to the participant, because of this Petra has an ongoing interest, and is now an avid computer user.
Both Viki and myself wish you every success in your future endeavours. Again congratulations on helping Petra along the road to self sufficiency.
Viki & Chris Tolley
