Salutations dear readers and fellow Laurentian neighbors,
To follow up on last months article about furthering our education by means of the computer, I thought it would be an exceptional opportunity to share with you the true stories of brave people who took the enlightened decision of facing, with courage, the new world of computers. Yes, my friends, you will agree that courage is needed for one to come voluntarily out of one's comfort zone. People like my customers, who vary in age from 30 to 83! We are all of the opinion that there is no age limit to further one's knowledge. For two years now, I have been teaching computer skills, at home, to a variety of individuals all sharing in a common goal - to open their mind to new horizons ... Here are a few testimonials:
===============
"We are a retired couple who wanted to learn about using the Internet with the objective of organizing our outings and travels from the comfort of our home. A friend referred us to Mon Ami l'Ordi. Lyana came to tutor us at home and not only did we learn about the Internet but, during the course of the past year, we were able to deepen our knowledge of computers beyond all our expectations. She still comes to give us a lesson every two weeks and every time we are waiting for her next visit with anticipation: not only is she a very congenial person, but she has been able to respond precisely to our individual needs as I was more computer proficient than my partner. Thank you Lyana for your patience."

"My computer lessons with Lyana de Gain of Mon Ami l'Ordi were first aimed to be solely a help in the management of my photos, a great passion of mine. However, little by little I came to realize the vast array of possibilities related to computing, be it the Internet or the effective management and organization of my computer itself. It was obvious I wasn't using to their full potential all the resources offered. So I decided to take more lessons at the end of which I found myself more proficient and able to maximize the efficacy and output of this wonderful tool. Today, I genuinely feel up to date with all the available benefits of my computer at my fingertips."

"As career people and professionals we are more and more subjected to the ever growing demands of the world of Information Technology. As a medical general practitioner and in the framework of continual professional education, I had as a first step to begin integrating the computerized information of each patient. Conjunctly, as a cosmetic practitioner (BOTOX & FILLERS), I had to quickly learn to electronically monitor all case file "images" (both before and after treatment). Mon Ami l'Ordi offered me a personalized service and was able to customize it to suit my needs. While remaining pragmatic always, Lyana (Mrs. Mon Ami l'Ordi) knows how to prod me onwards towards more knowledge in a most agreeable way. Thank you Mon Ami l'Ordi."

"Finally! I have found the best way to communicate with my Friends found all around the world: thank you computer, thank you e-mail and mostly, thank you Lyana."

I know of no other tool which offers us so many possibilities to acquire knowledge on such a myriad of subjects so, don't hesitate to begin your adventure of learning the Computer ... I'll be there to hold your hand every step of the way ...
Bye for now and look after yourselves!
