"This is easier than a VCR, because I don't know how to use my VCR! The thing that gives me the confidence is it's hands-on. I have a screen open to interact with what's being taught. And you can pause it, and rewind it, and go over it again. Very easy! It's packed with information, and ... I don't know what it wouldn't cover, because it seems so complete. And it is a great product!"
"I like the fact that as it's showing you, you can actually work on the desktop. You can do it as they're telling, showing you ... how to do it. It [other programs] shows you, but you can't really work with them at the same time and I think that [the] hands-on method is very, very valuable."

"Recently, I reentered the job market, and I didn't have a whole lot of knowledge of programs like Word, Access, [or] Excel® ... I went and interviewed at a position at a bank that required knowledge of those programs ... I didn't get considered for that position. But shortly after that I saw an ad for the Video Professor, and I ordered those programs, and having learned those programs I have since reinterviewed for a different position ... I got the job, based on the fact that I had knowledge... ."
"I'm a corporate trainer; this is something that I could easily recommend to people who need to learn new skills or enhance them ... they need those skills to improve job performance."

"I tried your Video Professor and I tell you, it's so simple. ... I have a company of my own, and [finding] the time to do it [learn] is tough... . With your product I can do it when I want to do it, and kind of take my time doing it ... it just works out really well."
"I learned quickly with Video Professor. It was nice because I could take it at my own pace. When I got tired, I could walk away from it and come back fresh, and that way I could pick up a lot more when I came back."

"I would feel very confident sharing Video Professor with other people, especially my mom; she's totally computer illiterate ... I think it caters to people at all different levels, because it starts out at the very beginning and gets more advanced."
"It's for beginners, intermediate, [and] for experts. There are things that you can find on here ... little menus, places I could click that I didn't even know [about]! Well, I would say it's definitely worth it. There's no reason to wait; you might as well try it now. It's not gonna happen by itself—just start using it."
"I'd recommend it to a beginner; it's easy to learn. I'm an intermediate ... I don't use it [a computer] a whole lot. ... Not getting into too much depth, it [the lesson] steps right through it. ... I'd recommend it to all age groups ... a first grader could do this, a kid in kindergarten could do this. It's not complicated at all, the steps take you right through it."

"Well, I've got Video Professor at home and it's working great for me, because what I can do is learn step by step. I? took a class before, through a business that I did, in Word, and it was good, but at the end, we were trying to condense everything, he was going very quickly and I really feel I missed a lot. And the good thing about this is that I can back up, and go do just what I need to do to find out where I need to go. So it's working very well for me."
"I think it's a very easy learning tool; it gives you confidence because you move at your own pace. The lesson comes up on the screen, and you can take the mouse and follow through and do the exact same things. ... I think it gives you a lot of confidence as you go along, where as if you're reading a book, ... you really don't know if you're doing the right [thing]—is that what they wanted you to do? Well, they're [Video Professor] showing you what they wanted you to do."
"I've had Video Professor at home. I've been using it for probably over a month now, and I've learned several programs that I've never, ever learned—without a classroom setting anyway—and they've worked out great so far. I really like them. They're helpful. I would definitely recommend this to people who have experience in computers and people who have never touched one. They're very easy to follow; they're not difficult in any way. Anybody can learn them who has this system. They've helped me. I'm giving them to my family to use
now ... . I definitely recommend it."
"Video Professor: it helps me a lot. ... I liked the Internet one the best, because it helps me and shows me everything that I need to know ... how to pull up different files and how to search things ... . And then with the CD-ROM, it shows you [that] you can go forward or
backward ... . It teaches you just like you're in school—just like you're back at the classroom."
