"We hosted our first PC Party, and it was both very informative and fun. The class lasted about 2-1/2 hours and Mike was extremely patient in answering questions and going over it "again"... thanks Mike! You made learning more about computers fun! I will definitely be attending some of the other parties that go over different topics, and also host future parties. GREAT CONCEPT!"
