"My wife, Martha (78), has tried iPad and PC. They just made her angry. She threw them across the room. Your A+ 17" laptop touchscreen has been well received and has finally opened up the world of the internet. I (86) have used personal computers since the IBM 8080. My frustration has been at least as great as hers. So far, so GREAT! Thank you." Richard, Springfield, OR

•"I just purchase your A Plus Computer for my 94 year old mother. I went over to set it up only to find out that it really is ready to go right out of the box. What a great design and I say that being in the computer industry for the last 30 years. Kudos! Jennifer, Rothbury, MI

"One icon with everything well organized, perfectly designed. So far quite pleased." Erv, Miami, FL

"I was truly surprise what a difference your computer makes. Not sure why, I just know it's the best computer I've ever owned." Barbara, Jackson Hole, WY

"I love your computer. I use it everyday and couldn't be happier." Bertha, Brookstone, MA

"All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you. I had given up the idea of ever trying the computer and had every intention of just trying it and sending it back but instead it opened up a new world for me with my grandchildren. It's been the best decision I've made in a long time." Ellis, Albany, NYseniors in lecture

"Thank you so much for all you do!  You make a big difference in my Mom's life, and in our lives!  She used to get very frustrated with computers and she felt very cut off from the rest of the world.  Now, she is able to use her computer to have a much more intellectually interesting and connected life.  This helps her feel so much better every day, and it helps her family feel better because we know she is happier! It is really great that the computer comes all set up just as she needs it, and then you help her on the phone with any questions she has.  I love the screen sharing help for her especially - sometimes words alone are not enough to explain a computer issue, and your ability to remotely and immediately solve problems she has on her computer has been so valuable!  Thanks for also being so incredibly patient, caring, and helpful all the time.  I appreciate that you are so readily available when she has a question or needs help.  She herself says she will only consider using a computer if it comes from your company and comes with your help! Thanks so very much!" Dorothy, Durham, NC

"We tried a computer a couple of years back but my friend had one of your computers and loved it and now so do I. You did a great job on the design for us old folks, thank you." John, Sayre, OK

"The other senior computer was so disappointing, I wanted to be able to play Bridge and Hearts but couldn't. Your computer was easy and I could do everything I wanted to. Great product and I've told all my friends." Pam, Elk Grove, CA
 

"My wife and I love the A Plus Computer so far and we just got this. This is the easiest user friendly computer I have ever seen. Thank everyone in your company " Paul, Monroe, MI  

"Not much I can add to the fine reviews to which I fully agree only to say that the A Plus is not just for seniors but at the age of 95 I have had three computers prior to the A Plus and have finally been completely satisfied.  I recommend it for all ages wholeheartedly.  The Tech support, to put it mildly, is superb." Bob, Doylestown, Pa


"Thank You, but just to let you know, this computer is amazing and I've already let others who are and are notsenior ladies seniors know about this pc. It truly suits all ages, even though she does not have the book yet, she is doing what I have taught her and she loves it as well. So, I thank you." Devon, East Orange, NY

"The support she used was great and I used it for her a couple of times. You have a great offering and make it all so easy.  I have recommended to several people and think I will get one for myself next year. Mom is almost 92 and loves your computer." Karen, Royalston, MA

"I am very impressed and so grateful for the computing experience you have created for seniors. The price is worth every penny and then some! And the greatest value is in the thought and care you have put into configuring the system. You took Windows —a powerful operating system, yet with quite a few confusing features— and made it transparent.
This day was a day of joy for me as I watched Larry get more and more excited about the doors that the 9300 has opened for him.
And he hasn't even tried your Signature Support yet. I'm betting he'll be delighted.
My best wishes for success." 
Kerwin, New Glarus, WI

"We had ordered one of your computers for my 91 year young mother when her computer quit.  We were impressed by your offering and thought this would be the perfect solution and IT IS.
I am so pleased with your documentation, the guide, the password chart  and the ease of use of the computer.  But the real difference is your wonderful customer service.  Having worked in the technology field for most of my life, I know first hand how utterly important it is to have great support and  all the staff members we have encounter exemplifies that quality.
I can tell you I will be glad to recommend your offering to anyone and everyone I know.
Thank you so much and a hats off to your staff for making such a difference.

"My kids were always after to me, especially for the grandkids to get a computer. It always seem like it was something that would take too much time to learn. I can honestly say with this computer and it's step-by-step illustrated guide, I wish I had done it years ago. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. Many thanks!" Ken, Miami, FL

"I tried for years to get my Mom to use a computer. But she found it too hard to learn, too complicated, and just became agitated when trying to use it. Recently, hearing all her friends talk about using their computers and seeing the commercials for the "Senior Friendly" computer on TV, she decided she wanted to give it another try. So, she called me and asked me to check out the "Senior" computer for her. I was not impressed. A whole lot of money for very little computer, and a locked system at that. I could not let her waste her money. So, I researched "Senior" computers, and came upon the A Plus Senior Computer. I can truly say I was impressed. More memory than she probably could ever use, a good amount of RAM, the ability to download anything from the internet, a CD/DVD device, and the ability to add a printer, head phone, etc. to the computer, plus a giant 24" screen and large letter keyboard. It looked to good to be true. So I called the number on the web site and spoke with this very knowledgeable and friendly gentleman who answered all my questions and then some. He was a fountain of knowledge and explained what OS was used and what platform, and what the senior interface offered. I called my mom back and told her I found the perfect computer for her, and explained why it was so much better. Since I am a retired tech for Time Warner, she had the confidence in me to know I would get her the best one possible. I ordered it the next day.
Flash forward 2 weeks. She has the computer on her kitchen table, the cable company has set up the modem/router and she is good to go. She looks over the teaching book that comes with the computer, and called the support number to guide her through the first steps. At this point I should mention my mom did not even know how to work the mouse. She called the support number provided, who began teaching her how to use the mouse. When she fumbles, the tech takes over the computer and shows her how to do the task, then has her do it herself. She tells me he is wonderful. Patient, friendly, and talks to her in words she can understand. In other words, not like a technician.
I called her yesterday. I was shocked. Usually our conversation started something like this: "Hi, Mom. How are you feeling?" "Okay I guess. My back hurts and my feet are really bad today." Yesterday, it went like this: "Hi Mom. How are you doing?" "I am on Google! I can use the mouse and I can play my card games! I can't wait to call again. I think he is going to show me how to find things on the internet." This was not my mother. This was a new person. My mom has not been this excited about anything since she became a great Grandmother. She kept telling me about all she has missed out on, and how she wishes she had started learning about computers way back when I made her one. She is so engrossed in learning and doing things on the A Plus Senior Computer she forgets about her back pain and the nephropathy in her feet. She is a totally new person, with a new outlook on life. She gets up in the morning with something to look forward to, instead of just sitting around watching TV. She is 87, and has vision in only one eye. To see her this happy brings such joy to my heart.
I told him that the support person mom talks to daily is wonderful, he has really encouraged my mom and she says he is a great teacher. Then he asked what my mom’s name was. When I told him, he said "Oh, Anna. She's a wonderful woman." What a shock!
Thank you from my entire family for changing my mom's life. She is so happy now. She can't wait to talk to me and see me at the same time (via Skype). She even asked if I could take her on a tour of my house with my computer. I told her sure, I can do it on my laptop. She has so much to look forward to. You have opened up a whole new world for her.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart." 
Leigh-Ann, Graham, WA

"My father lives out of state so it was great to send him a computer that was already setup and ready to go. We use the video chat all the time so he can see the grandkids. It was a lot easier than I ever expected, thank you."
Bonnie, Umpqua, OR

"How wonderful it has been not to feel so left out of the world anymore. I have to admit I was quite skeptical, but sure enough, I did the lessons one at a time and was quite comfortable with this machine. It's the best exercise for the brain you can get. Many thanks."  Ethel, The Villages, Fl

"Just wanted to call and tell you how much I love your computer. I couldn't be happier."  Stan, Norfolk, VA

"I really hated not knowing what the girls were talking about at lunch when we went out. While I wasn't thrilled about taking on something new, this computer was really quite easy to use. I love the mouse. Now I don't have to make believe and understand when they talk about email."  Eleanor, Arlington, TN
