What a fantastic film….I’m so impressed and can’t wait for more films like this. I was glued to the screen – it’s not only very clever it’s aldso very intereting…..It proves you’re never too old to grasp the usefulness of new technology and I hope your work will encourage others to get involved with our computer class!
