Below is what some of our users have said:

“My computer lessons have been very rewarding for me. To learn about the computer has opened up a whole new world for me! I can converse with people I've never meet , put my photos on facebook, email lots of friends & especially family, it's very interesting new technology, and also with the help of Karolien Selen I am very grateful to her, without Karolien's patience i would not have succeeded so fast to learn all these new things. Thank you and also thank you to Tennis Townsville” Margie Goodall, Pimlico. 

“I would just like to say many thanks for the excellent tuition I have received through the Broadband for Seniors program. Now I can load pictures from my camera onto the computer, then save them to a hard drive or memory stick etc. Also I can now use a spread sheet in Excel and can navigate my way around Google and Skype. The computer is now fun. Most of all I would like to thank you for your patience. The one on one training with Karolien is really great.” Marie Buckley, Rosslea. 

The Broadband for Seniors Kiosk has been extremely helpful, I walked in unable to type and now I’ve learned so much. I’ve purchased a computer through the Broadband for Seniors and I’m getting it installed this week. I’ve been taught how to resize photos; I’ve also set up my own Gmail account which means I can now send through photos to my family.” Nell Cooke, Kirwan
