-- Judi Nakamaru

"I’ve just never been a person with any mechanical skills. In fact, in the company that I ran, they wouldn’t even let me in the computer room.

And I have made such wonderful progress in dealing with Worth Godwin, that I just want to pass that along. "

-- Oliver Hutaf

"My name is Gina Eveland, and I'm retired from teaching.

It's easier for me to understand a lesson that Worth gives because he uses analogies I can relate to.

With each lesson, I felt better about what I was doing on the computer.

So I feel much more comfortable about the computer."

-- Gina Eveland

"Worth uses plain English so you can understand what he's teaching you, and he uses everyday examples.

Worth's computer lessons are for people just like me.

People who are afraid to push buttons, afraid they'll get in trouble with the computer. "
