As a software author, I get lots of letters...from teachers, parents and children. Here are some of the more memorable ones. All are treasured. All comments are shown as received.
Comments on our Brickles games...
- "Both my wife and I play Brickles more than any of the other games we've acquired. This says a lot. To be honest, a lot of the games out there are rubbish!! Yours is one of the better ones."
- "I like your shareware and I would send you bucks but my mom says it isn't a good investment so in thanks I am going to tell you about me..."
- "Dear Brickles, Hi, my name is B.N., and I'm ten years old. I would like to tell you that your computer game is great esspicially when you get your name on that hall of fame score board. Did you know that this computer game was so great that I copy this game to every single one of my friend that have a macintosh. I even like this game because when me and my sister play this game we can challenge who has a higher score. I'm sorry that I don't have dollars to give you but if I did I would give it to you. Bye I have to stop now."
- "I never thought that I'd ever actually be sending anyone money for shareware but here I am. I guess I'm just too honest, or maybe just strange. Your game (Brickles) is my 5 minute pastime when something's printing. But, I have to admit, I play it just about every day."
- "It has given me many moments of pleasure and laughs. I feel like a kid in an arcade."
- "It's fun, it's soothing but I rarely get very far unless I lockup my 3-yr-old Burmese (cat). You might market this as an interactive cat toy! Something about the way it bounces and the sound breaking Brickles make makes her crazy."
- "I use your program Brickles a lot in my occupational therapy programs. The students love it and it really helps improve their eye hand coordination and visual tracking skills."
- "I love Brickles Plus! I'm not very good yet, but I will!"
- "Thank you for building up Brickles. I enjoy playing it. Do you like to play your own games? Do you build computers? You must be pretty smart! Do you have any new software that you've been working on? What kind of computer do you have? I just got a new computer. You're proboblay a busy guy, so I won't take up all your time."
- "We (my family) all like this game so much. My father says it is good to play when the brain is tired after studying or working. (But he is the worst player of my family - he seldom takes more than 100 scores.) I always play with one huge paddle and slow ball. Maybe I'm going to play the more harder one in the far future. That's very difficult, isn't it?!"
- "Brickles was an okay game but do you have any other games. If you send me more games and they are good I will pay money..."
- "I think your game is really neat! My highest score so far is 232."
- "...I looked at all the other shareware games that came on our system and promptly trashed them - all except your delightful Brickles Plus. With that, you have accomplished what no other designer/writer of game software, amateur or professional, has ever been able to do - that being not only to get me to play and enjoy the game, but to demonstrate my enjoyment by paying for it....Being an old f--- I can play it at a slow pace and enjoy it, and when our children come to visit they can set it to higher speeds and enjoy it as well...Even my wife - who resisted anything to do with computers for the past ten years - has gotten interested and now plays Brickles; though if she will ever go on to Microsoft Word or Adobe Photoshop, only time will tell. Brickles did break the ice!"
- "I think I play brickles the most out of all of my games in the world."
- "I haven't stopped smiling since another secretary here in the office shared me your Brickles game."
- "All of us would like to thank you for the design of the game. It's fair dinkum and well done. Good on you."
- "Brickles is a very neat game. It is the one and only game on my Apple Menu."
- "Brickles was the first Mac game my daughter got interested in ... ooops, no, it's the first Mac game *I* got *addicted* to."
- "We're all hooked on Brickles. Thanks for a great pastime."
- "My grandkids love the game."
- "Have tracked your progress over the years -- WOW! The latest versions are wonderful!"
- "...a semipsychedelic makeover of the perennial favorite..."
- "Thanks Ken, your games are awesome. Our friends are addicted."
- "My grandchildren and I are having a ball with these games."
- "Only complaint is this game is sooo addictive."
- "I've downloaded bunches of brick bashing games and yours is by far the best."
- "I hold my Schools record of 2130 (I had to stop as lunch ended)."
- "My son's favorite game!"
- "You are the MAN, this game ruled then as it does now. Hooray for brickles!!!"
- "My nieces and nephews love playing it on my imac."
- "My wife has just scored over 6000 points in the game! Looks like her love affair with Solitaire will be taking a back seat for a while."
- "I like the 8X BONUS BRICKLE"
- "Your Brickles Deluxe is by far the all time favorite at all ages levels at my school. We use if sparingly, though, or otherwise kids wouldn't get any work done at all!! It is the ultimate reward!!!! Thanks for developing these great things for us!!!!"
- "...both your Hangman and Brickles software are among the most popular with my special ed. students."
- "Your games are quite popular on the Mac in my waiting room."
- "this game is the best"
- "My dad uses your software/game to help him recover from a stroke. In addition to the game's helping him with his concentration and reaction time, I thought it would be fun for my kids to play."
- "This week I'll be doing my intro for the year in all my classes and guess what??? When I'm done with my "ground rules speech" for each class we do Brickles Deluxe just for fun for the last 10 - 15 minutes I have them!!! It *is* the all school favorite, that's for sure!!!"
- "brickles rox!"
- " I LOVE LOVE LOVE BRICKLES!!!"
- "i love this game its been my favorite for decades"
- "I seriously love this game."
- "By the way, I'm addicted to Brickles Deluxe so I'll probably have to send you a bill for the therapist I'll need to see to break the habit."
- "Brickles rules"
- "Wow, I love this new version! I am getting hooked on the smaller, square version of the game. Wife and I both like the new sounds, the toolbar you've added, too. This is THE game I use to relax with!"
- "You've got another winner!"
- "It's a great game. . .particularly fun for me to watch the Brickles competition between my 9 year old grandson, Benn and his grandfather (my husband) Gary"
- "I would buy a macintosh just for this game :)"
- " i live for this game!!!"
- "I just thought you would like to know that since you reminded me of Brickles, and sent me the code for it, I have been playing it day and night!. I used to have something resembling a life, but no more. At my age (70), my reflexes are not so hot, but I keep trying."
- "I am an enormous Brickles fan, and fell in love with it when I began playing it at school."
- "im a 13 year old who is into all those high-tech games as some people would say but yet brickles tops them by far"
- "The kids are brilliant at it, amassing tens of thousands of points per game. My first game, I went down amidst the flames of a mere 61 points. Oh, the shame, but what a challenge! Thanks for the funnest way to lose hours of one's life since Tetris!"
- "My name is Kelsey. I LOVE your game. I am 10 years old. I play it eny time I can. Thank you so much for inventing this game."
- "Brickles Man...I played it and it is my favorite game. I play it a lot...I will try to pay the money but I am still working off money for breaking moms vase. Good bye."
- "I am 76 years old and it may seem silly for me to play such games, but I like it and it helps me stay alert and improves my coordination. You can use that in your advertising if you want to, but don't use my name."
- "Actually we got the game for my daughter who has a learning disability and needs work on eye-hand coordination."
- "Thanks again for your help, and especially for the creation of this marvelous, exciting, educational, and FUN game."
- "I found that it helped students who had trouble reading with hand/eye coordination, which in turn impacts the gaining of reading skills. It also gave them such a feeling of self-esteem that it made their entire school experience a better one."
- "This is the ONLY game I ever play. Really. Too busy to bother with others. Brickles is an old friend...one I am glad is still around in the Mac world!"
- "I think your game is really great for kids with autism, because it has the colors, the sounds, and the call for eye/hand coordination in a random setting that puzzles them (they are very good at finding patterns). They generally do not care about competing for higher scores but will be motivated by the ball hitting so many keys all of a sudden making a 'symphony'. Congratulations for your game!"
- "Brickles rules i played it when i was a young girl."
- "I am so happy, the game is great."
- "I love brickles....it has to be the greatest game on earth."

- "Thanks once again for making this game possible on non-Mac computers. You are the greatest!!!"
- "IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!"
- "And you haven't played 'Brickles' 'til you've played it with two kittens sitting on your monitor trying to help you catch the ball! You could start marketing it as a cat toy."
- "This is one of the better games for Mac."
- "This game is great!"
- "My fiancee's mother loves Brickles, by the way!"
- "Thanks so much I LOVE this game."

- "easier for the younger kids 'cos they can slow it down etc."
- "Thanks for such an addictive game!"

- "Like in your dreams (-:)" [Note: This was said in response to my email alerting registered users that the latest Brickles Pro allows users to enter their age along with their high score for publication in the Brickles Pro Hall of Fame web page.]
- "I'm nearly blind, but love games, and this is wonderful. I have CP, and working with hand-eye stuff is very good for me. Thank you for making it so I can have things SLOW and LARGE!"
- "congratulations on making the best ball and paddle software"
- "Thanks so much for offering software for Macs. I keep Mac-evangelizing to family and friends, and their come-back is always, "it's hard to find software." Now I have another site to point them toward. Thanks again!"
- "I am spending sinful amounts of time with the new, and old varieties of Hangman, as well as Brickles!"
- "I love it! The trial version got me through several nights of terrible pain in the darkness of a hospital after a hellacious, painful operation! It was only right to buy it as soon as I came home. Thank you. : )"
- "This game is super!!"
- "You make great games!"
- "Thanks so much for taking the time to develop such a unique game."
- "Had several of your games before this one and all are great!"
- "My cat CQ (aka Crazy Quilt) joins in the game every morning. First, she looks under, over and behind the computer for the sound. Then, she starts pawing at the screen's bouncing ball, and sometimes tries to bite the edge of the computer."
- "...have advanced osteoarthritis in most of my joints. After spinal surgery and a hip replacement, my wrist and finger joints are now involved. I enjoy Brickles so much because I can go at a slower pace. I can vicariously be Venus Williams, a pingpong champ, or billiards player at the same time! I particularly enjoy being able to have a variety of backgrounds and colors -- it helps with those of us who no longer have good vision."
- "Nice and pleasant game"
- "WOW! A game I can play!"
- "You bring out the child in me - I really do love Brickles - the sounds are just darling."
- "Thanks so much for Brickles Pro! I'm 68 years old, and I love it."

Comments on our word-guessing games...
- "I just downloaded Hangman Plus v4.0 and can't keep my students away from it."
- "Thanks for the great game (Hangman Plus). I tutor children and use the customization feature to reinforce lessons."
- "I can hardly wait until my granddaughter is old enough to play this game with me."
- "It brings back memories of the days I played Hang Man on the chaulkboards of the public school. Our whole family enjoys your game and have competitions with one another over who can get the most words correct without getting hung, and we're learning something at the same time! We have a daughter with special needs, who really enjoys and benefits from this game. She loves word games, and your game motivates her to use the computer more."
- "I highly enjoy your game (on computers) Hangman. I highly play it everyday."
- "Hangman Plus is wonderful! My students love it and the customizing has really helped introduce new vocabulary in a non-threatening environment! Thank You!"
- "We are using it with some of our students who need a little help with their English, and have found they enjoy learning when they think it is just a game."
- "It's lots of fun and I am especially appreciative as the game works well with some of my students. I am a music therapist and I work primarily on a private basis with handicapped students. On their behalf, thank you."
- "Procol Harum ruined my winning streak on the music category of your Hangman Plus, but I won't hold it against you...Truth told: I haven't been so glued to the monitor since way back when Zork was first out...Thanks for making Hangman Plus concise, clever, full of neat sound effects (-and especially for resisting the urge to have Vanna White spin the letters around when you guess them correctly!)...Hangman Plus is gritty, fun, and best of all - IT ROCKS!...P.S. Who ARE Procol Harum anyhow? Was I born before or after their finest hour?"
- "I love your game! Especially the sounds! That laugh. Great! Is it yours?"
- "Your Hangman Plus is the best! I made a hard drive full of education and entertainment games and sent it to a friend for his 7 yr old son. Hangman is his fave! He uses it for spelling homework."
- "I'm a Mac user and I have one of your games called Hangman and I liked some of the graphics and now I have a suggestion for you. This suggestion might be hard. Anyways I know there are a lot of games for a computers and there are games for Nintendo, Sega and Super Initendo, So my suggestion is a new game for the Mac. I'm sure you've heard of Mortal Kombat a game children love for Sega and Super Nintendo and I know you've help make games and I've wondered if it would be possible for you to be able to make a game such as Mortal Kombat for a Mac. I am sure you think that it would be hard work and believe me it probably is. Well don't want to waste most of your time so I'll go. Write back if you have time. P.S. If you do make the game do you think I could have a copy."
- "I love your game Hangman Plus. It scares the living daylights out of my nephew, but he is only one, and shouldn't be playing computer games yet anyway."
- "...I am delighted with Brickles and Hangman and will be using it with one set of grandchildren this week-end and with another set later on...It is a relief to have games that challenge the reflexes and intellect without guns, slaughter, and explicit sex. From six to septuagenarian we are grateful to you."
- "I am a junior high computer teacher. My students used some games on a trial basis this quarter...Your game, Hangman Plus, was in the top five."
- "After playing Hang2000 only once, I was hooked! The graphics and sounds are superb. A perfect tool for educators..."
- "I used your demo of Hang2000 in my middle school special ed class of kids with learning disabilities. You have a winner!"
- "I'll pass the word - wonderful program!"

- "I just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying your game Hang2000-I find it to be positively ADDICTING."

- "The Hang3000 is brilliant and a godsend."
- "We got through all 42 [Presidents] by the way, before my wife insisted I put my daughter to bed at about 10:30! (The daughter wanted to go on and try all 50 states in States3000!)"
- "My middle school kids LOVE your programs. Am excited to get your new ones. I just started teaching U.S. History AND Language Arts in my learning disabilities middle school 8th grade class. THANK YOU!"
- "Am sending off your web page to all the teachers I know to pass the word. Also adding annotations on how well your stuff works with my kids."
- "I'm still excited to have my grandson start using the programs. Thanks again - count me as one of our happy customers!"
- "'Hecka cool' is the quote from my 8th grader who tried President's Wives this morning."

- "I thoroughly enjoyed the use of these programs during my trial period and find them to be very educational as well as just plain FUN!"
- "love your games - keep them coming!"
- "I like it and the kids love it. All the new stuff is a hit."
- "I'm glad that you retained the sexy voice in the Pro version!"
- "I really enjoy Hangman as do my grandchildren. They can't get over how much Grandma knows. Of course, they fail to take into account all the years I've lived and absorbed information: both trivial and worthwhile."
- "She loves Hangman Pro and plays at the assisted living facility where she lives."
- "I love this game. Thanks for the program."
- "The kid likes it!"

- "I want to thank you for your terrific games...the Hangman varieties. Do you have others as well? I find them helpful as a person with disabilities because of m.s.The games seem to help me think clearly, and the required dexterity of my hands to play is not too much, as in other games."
- "MY 11 YEAR OLD AND I LOVE YOUR GAMES"
- "I help run a Sunday school in Surrey in UK and we use your Hangman Bible game as a little light entertainment at the end of the session. The participants even ask for it so they certainly enjoy it."
- "I don't remember where I found your products, but I like them and so does my mom. Thanks."
- "Thanks Ken This game has already provided hours of fun for the family. i will checkout your other products."
- "I had been looking for 3 hours on the Internet for a Hangman program that could help my son with his spelling words and definitions. By the time I found yours I was so tired of being on the computer but excited that I found what I was looking for. It works and he is on his way to passing his spelling. I wish I would have thought of this earlier in the school year. This is how I learned my spelling words when I was a kid."
- "The kids enjoy your program and it really helps to reinforce the words we want them to know how to spell."
- "Your Hangman Pro was acquired and installed on our Mac in the library room up at our local senior center. Some of our folks wanna play games they understand other than solitaire. Most do not care for 'FPS' or noisy games. And occasionally they want to sit their grandkids on their lap playing as equal supportive competitors. The sounds from Hangman lead others in the library to smile, laugh, and walk over to see what the sillyness is about. And a few sign up for our Mac class. Then they get in touch with their own grandkids in this newfangled way. So you are an important party helping to drag some of our seniors into the twenty first century."
Comments on our TinyBooks accounting program...
- "Looks like TinyBooks is just what I need."
- "I've been looking for a simple program like this for a year or more. I don't need all the bells and whistle of MYOB, etc. I have my normal tax stuff, and as a writer, I keep track of income and expenses. This is terrific. Thanks."

- "Thanks Ken for the free update! I am excited about using tinybooks for my small lawn care business. In the past I have tried other programs but most are way too much for my needs.

- "Wow !!! I was reading the May 2004 issue of MacWorld and came across your TinyBooks review. Thats just what I have been looking for for about 3 years now. All the other programs I've tried are overkill and have a steep learning curve."
- "Your website description of TinyBooks is EXCELLENT. All software companies should describe their products like you do. The illustrations are great too !"

As I was flying through entering my bills etc into your software i had a small panic and thought what if after all this entering of data there comes a time when the month is "full" so I entered a whole bunch of empty entries only to be very pleased to see a scroll bar appear. Then I remembered some of the packages I had been reading about on the Apple site which expected a new fee each year and i thought oh dear will I have to buy the program again to enter last years info which I have not yet sent to my accountant so I was delighted to go to new and find I could enter any old year number."

Keeping 'The Books' has been a real problem. Especially come tax time. We even went to the expense of purchasing 'AccountEdge' which was way too complicated. I never could figure it all out, so I went back to paper and pencil, always thinking in the back of my head, 'There has got to be an easier way!' Then when I was at the 'MacMinute' web site I noticed a mention of TinyBooks. We went ahead and purchased the program, and The Solution to our problem was solved! This is EXACTLY what we needed! Thank you so very, very much!"

New updates have been helpful in selling a couple new landscaping jobs using the "Estimate". And a whole lot more........."

Thanks again, so much !"

Not saying we are professional book-keepers now, by any means, but we are certainly far more in control of categorizing and recording expenses and looking at where the $$$ is going. I guess this is a long way of saying "Thank you VERY much!!""

I just hand the final report along with with some other info. to my accountant and she takes it from there. I also like knowing where I stand (financially) as long as all info. has been inputed. I could not imagine using a Dome Book and manually doing all that Tiny Books does."
- "TinyBooks is a lovely program and my husband and I are grateful to have found it."
- "Thanks for all your fine efforts in creating TinyBooks for folks like us!"
- "It is so amazing to get such a quick reply to all our queries - many, many, many thanks!!!"
- "I LOVE TINYBOOKS!!!!!!!! You did a great job on this program, just what I needed."
- "I just purchased Tiny Books today and am entering 6 months worth of data. As a small business owner I know keeping accurate records is important but I've never liked any of the other bookkeeping programs I've tried. Tiny books is so simple and easy to use plus it makes intuitive sense to me (unlike most other accounting software). Its really helped me in an area I've had constant struggle so thank you for simplifying it and making it easier for me to stay on top of the numbers!!!! Add me to your list of glowing testimonials; I wouldn't take the time to email you if I didn't feel the program was truly exceptional."
- "Thanks very much indeed for replying to my blank email. You're a fantastic software supplier. I bet Microsoft wouldn't be so available to support it's users!!!"
- "Thanks again for your prompt and friendly help whenever I have needed it - not much of that about in this day and age!"
- "I want to repeat how grateful I am for Tiny Books and how it has simplified my life enormously, and surely kept my blood pressure at a safe level. I actually enjoy inputting information almost daily and keeping track of the monthly totals-nothing like knowing the bottom line for sure-though it looks like this coming year inputting will be easier... :-("
- "I've got to say, for my particular use, TinyBooks is infinitely better than QuickBooks or one of those other accounting applications."
- "Finally, I'm getting my 2008 books done! Your software is splendid, and it sure does make the job go quickly."
- "That's fantastic - I appreciate the (ridiculously) fast response. I'd already decided to recommend your software to other consultants and this level of service confirms it was a smart choice."

- "It's exciting having a simple yet effective software that is making my life more enjoyable. Thanks again."
- "I would like to thank you for creating such a simple yet amazingly detailed program. The reporting capability is the best. I do my husband's books for his business and for years I struggled with spreadsheets that never seemed to give me the information I needed at the end of the year. Tinybooks has saved me hours and hours of time. It's funny the reason I found your program on the internet was I was trying to see if anyone had created a simple access program for record keeping. Thank you again."
- "TinyBooks is a wonderfully useful piece of software that fills a void for the sole-proprietor. I needed something more flexible than the Neo-Office spreadsheet I used for 2008, but dreaded getting involved in Quickbooks. Thank you for offering TinyBooks to the Net community."

- "I have a small Consultancy in Barcelona, Spain. Tinybooks is very useful to me because it is very straightforward a as bookkeeping program."
- "Just wanted to let you know -- I got TinyBooks last year and have been really happy with it. I recommend it to all my colleagues (I'm a therapist in private practice). Those with PCs are sad that it's not an option for them. :) Thanks for making my life easier and tax time a breeze! :)"

- "I'm embarrassed to tell you, I'm just now finding the time to get started on my bookkeeping and so far, I am finding TinyBooks to be great...easy to move around, easy to follow instructions, it's all good and I am truly thankful to have ordered it, if I make myself do my part, now, and keep up on a weekly basis, all will be good."
- "I have told several people about your product and I know at the end of the year, pressing one button to compile all tax info will be fantastic!!"

- "I tried out the free trial of Tinybooks and I love it!"
- "I love your simple bookkeeping program."
- "Well I have to agree with all the sterling reports about tinybooks. I am NOT a money person and tinybooks is a bridge for me. Thank you."
- "Also, I'd just like to let you know how much I love this program. It's just what I need for my one person biz."
- "OK Ken, thanks for taking the time to come back to me. I've already recommended TinyBooks to my colleague!"
- "This program is fabulous"

- "I seem to be in and IT WORKS!!!!!!!! I can actually do stuff with it. I am quite surprised."
- "Love "TinyBooks". Well done. Starting using it Jan 09 after 20 years of pencil and ledger. Your system turned out to be exactly what I need as a sole proprietor entertainer."
- "Another compliment: the clarity with which you explain everything combines an obvious skill with a very down to earth approach that makes reading your instructions enjoyable. Your ability to pinpoint or emphasis common errors BEFORE your customer makes them is both thoughtful and good business. It's a pleasure to use your creation. This coming from a guy who thought pencils and Dome books were all that I would ever want. Or need. Boy was I wrong."
- "I've been using Tiny Books for my small business for at least three years - great program, no problems."

- "Thanks again for the great program and the prompt reply. It's nice to know there is a genuine human on the other end of things."
- "Very exciting, TinyBooks is the only accounting application that I tried that I felt I truly understood what was happening. I bought MYOB a long time ago and dumped it after a very unhappy year, I felt that I had no idea what was happening in there, and had no confidence that I was operating it correctly."
- "I am on my third year of using Tiny Books. It is just perfect for what I do. I am a general contractor. It is a quick, simple, intuitive program. I can't afford to spend time just doing book work...and I don't with Tiny Books."
- "thanks for your message and for the great, simple software. simple enough even for me!"
- "Brilliant - downloaded and registered the new prog, converted my old files successfully, and now a very happy man!"

- "SUCCESS! Thanks for your support. It was really nice to hear from you so quickly and caringly, Joan"
- "Well Done, superstar !!"
- "I noticed the sound effects and I LOVE them! That makes me giggle every time."
- "I was just telling my husband how incredible your program has been for me last year in doing his books. I have just started the 2010 books so this upgrade is great timing. TinyBooks has saved me massive amounts of time in reconciliation for tax time and keeps the records in such a clean simple format. I was at my wits enough using excel spreadsheets for years. At the end of each year it would take me weeks to compile all the numbers I needed. You are to be congratulated for creating such a great program and on top sharing it. Your honesty and human touch with emailing your upgrade information makes it even more special. I will upgrade this weekend with pleasure."
- "It is already working like a dream, but upgrades would make it even better."

- "Thanks again for your GREAT service."
- "I've just started using the program and I love it! It's beautiful in its simplicity of use."
- "You're the best & so is the Tiny books program. My accoutant is so impressed every year with my super organized tiny books"
- "I don't even remember how I came upon your program, but I sure do like what I have seen so far. I am not really as tech savvy as my non-mac friends think I am. I have been able to use the program without reading directions so far, which is the way I like it."
- "Your simple program is good for me, because it is simple. I cannot over emphasize that point."
- "Love the new look and the increased number of saved invoices in the new release."

- "The software works great for me and I love the new look of the Icon!"
- "Thank you!! I think it's great that a program can be written that is memory efficient and elegant."
- "By the way, love the program. It's perfect for my purposes. I am a fine artist and graphic designer and my wife is also a freelance graphic designer. It is just what we need for the record keeping we have to do.I have been using your program for a few years now. I used to do a similar thing using monthly tracking sheets that I designed, but I would write everything in by hand - the old fashioned way, and of course had to calculate and re-calculate everything. It's nice to be able to just run customized reports and hand them to my accountant."
- "Have really been appreciating this simple program - thanks for all your hard work to offer it to us Mac nerds who refuse to go along with the overly complicated quickbooks."
- "Thank for looking into the problem and for your good advice. This wasn't your problem to solve, but I thought asking you would be a good starting point. You really have gone above and beyond for me."
- "I love your software, it is so easy to use! I'm looking forward to trying out the new version."
- "I've been spreading the work about TinyBooks and will continue to do so."
- "Thanks for your help, and thanks again for creating TinyBooks. My life changed (for the better!) the day I started using it!"
- "Yay! Got everything taken care of -- your directions were crystal clear. Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly -- I appreciate it:)"
- "I love this. I've NEVER understood anything about accounting (I'm a creative), and QB spins my brain in little circles."
- "TinyBooksPro really lives up to all of the positive feedback I've read. I am a professional artist with minimal bookkeeping needs and absolutely no bookkeeping savvy. TinyBooksPro truly runs on autopilot! It was intuitive from the get go. More people need to know about your product. I will definitely be recommending TinyBooksPro."
- "Well, I love it - I really do... thank YOU!"
- "Just thought I'd let you know, I bought the software and spent about 6 hours last night entering all my 2010 business and personal books and I LOVE IT. Thanks so much - again, for creating something that the average person can understand and USE!!"
- "P.S. I love TinyBooks!"
