Yesterday (Thursday, May 28) I had an opportunity to travel to Fletcher, Ohio (where? just east of Piqua - where?) to meet Bruce Brockman (Mr. YANTOTC) and observe Bruce make a presentation to the folks at Systemax (http://www.systemaxpc.com/ ). It was another chance for me to learn more about the technology industry and to see some of the great potential there is for helping people become more technologically saavy.

Her mom used her computer daily
A friend of mine had this to say...
Meanwhile, I just clicked on your link for YANTOTC - that's an interesting business! I'm sure there's a huge market out there for senior-focused technology use. My Mom died at almost 85, and she had used her computer daily for at least five years before her death to do email, check her investments, Google for info, etc. (Judging by how much household "junk" I had to weed out after she died, she could've also been putting ebay to good use, as well - but alas, my techie sister had not gotten around to teaching her that one yet! : ) Her 70-something sister-in-law and cousin also corresponded regularly via email, but I don't think too many of her Tucson friends were very tech-saavy. Anyway, I'm sure whatever you guys do to promote product awareness, online skills, etc is much needed in the senior community! (I've always been a little sad that my Dad missed ebay. He died in 1997 before the public internet explosion, but he would've loved the comparison shopping and bargaining opportunities!)

Experimenting Yet
This is my first attempt at adding a picture and adding a link. The link, of course, is to our YANTOTC website and the picture, well....
Oh, my goodness. I'm going to leave this up, but the phone number is the number of our company in North Ridgeville, OH. Company president, Bruce Brockman, will probably answer. And I have no way of responding to that email address at this time.

Blogging for Dummies
Just in case anyone thinks I've got more advanced IT skills than I'm letting on, I went out a purchased a copy of Blogging for Dummies so I can figure out what all this is blogging stuff is all about. YANTOTCJohn
