Dear Ziko there are several keys to the success that my colleague Vojtech Vesely is having with senior citizens. First, he carefully looks for motivated and talented senior citizens - we only accept those who have good knowledge of PC and Internet. We do not try to replace standard PC courses. Secondly, we have to devote enough time to them - we make sure that there is an elementary and an advanced course open to everyone. One person organizes the program, runs three courses a week and answers e-mails, which is almost a full-time job.
