One-On-One Computer Training and Coaching

Serving the Vancouver Lower Mainland Since 2005

I hear many stories about the dangers of the Internet... why are you encouraging me to go there?

Yes the Internet can be a dangerous place as there are no rules of behaviour that govern the Internet.  Even government agencies in repressive regimes are unsuccessful in regulating this modern day manifestation of the Wild West.  We encourage you to explore the Internet as it offers you the world's largest information resource and melts many global boundaries. The Internet enables you to reach out and connect with other people who share similar experiences even though they may live thousands of miles away.

If you were travelling through the jungles of Africa you would be sceptical if some stranger offered you a 'miracle pill'. We suggest that you exercise a similar level of scepticism on the Internet when offered free products or services. We will teach you simple rules of behaviour and train you in safe surfing habits so that you will enjoy your time exploring the Internet.

Privacy on the Internet is maintained through a combination of unique user-names and passwords.  We urge you to never reveal your personal information to any third party solicitations, especially if you receive questions through unsolicited emails. We have strategies that will minimize the amount of unsolicited spam mail and other undesirable interruptions that can disturb your computing sessions.

We will ensure that you computer has up-to-date safeguards. If you join our support club, we will periodically check the status of your computer through our remote support services and take corrective action. 

While we cannot provide you with an absolute guarantee of safety, we can minimize the dangers so that you should have a happy and safe computing experience.
