Just a quick note of appreciation from one of the colonies. I'm using your software for a student I teach who has many learning difficulties, but he is thrilled (and motivated) to be working with your software. Please continue the excellent work, and best of luck going forward.

months now...we think you're great!
Keep up the fantastic work you do!

I have been using your programs for years now and am really glad for a chance to say how FAB they are. They are better than any other I've found for educational purposes and a fraction of the price. All the kids who have used them at my school LOVE them and I think you are a very very clever man!! Trisha , UK

My Programs & Why I Make Them
I started to produce educational programs and games for my ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - also called ADD) son Richard, when he was excluded from school and I had to teach him at home. It meant giving up my career in the Insurance Industry but I don't regret it for a minute. I stopped dealing with car and property insurance claims and became Richard's full time carer. Until he started college, I helped out doing voluntary teaching of Information Technology to kids at his school. In the past I have done many jobs including road sweeper, cleaner, painter, decorater, plumber, electrician, cinema doorman, clothes shop assistant, bus driver, milkman, insurance claims manager, gardener, petrol pump attendant (in the days before self service), chef, waiter and general fixer of just about anything.
I put my first games up on the web in 1996 and now they are used all over the world in homes, schools, colleges, adult education centres etc. Many parents and teachers of ADD/ADHD children have told me they really work for these youngsters, in fact all those with special needs. Particularly gratifying is the feedback I get from teachers and carers of adults with special needs saying that my no frills simple to use programs really help and are so popular. The fact that I don't use fluffy bunnies and other pre-school type graphics means they can be used by any age group without the feeling that it's only small kids that need to learn the basics. My view is that we all have special talents and if you are not so good with reading, writing or maths, just means that you are more gifted in other areas such as art, music, sport, dance etc. I'm quite good at making programs but I'm rubbish at sport. Does that make me stupid?? I don't think so.
When I started putting my downloads on the internet, they were all freeware. With the rising cost of hosting popular free software and the fact I am no longer a full time carer, I have to make a living somehow. This is not a bleeding heart story but the fact is, and other carers should take note if you are not already aware, when you try and get back into the job market, employers don't seem to be interested in experience anymore, just young inexpensive, often part time labour. So now I charge a website membership fee, which I thought was farer to low income families, rather than charge for each program. I hope you will agree that the one off cost for over 200 programs and all future ones I make, is a very good deal, rather than many software companies that require you to re-mortgage your home, or get a loan to buy just one.

I've been a happy Olltwit user for years - I downloaded several of your programs back in '04, for my older son to use. Now it's time for my younger son to use them, and I've come back to your site to find 1) I owe you, and 2) you have more great stuff. I'm happy to pay up because I know the quality of your programs.
