Quotes
About my
HospitalityMachine distro:
-
"I'm a late convert to your
software. I found it by typing Hospitality Software in Google,
and voila, I am now using it on my laptop. It's free, and more
importantly, it does everything I need! Oh, and I really like
the rotating desktop. Thank you sir." -
Joseph Mendes, Google User/Email, Jun/09 (posted Jan/10)

"Your product [is] by far
the best one for pubs, and I have wasted hours researching the
net for this type of thing. And then I find one just down the
road - and free. Legend." -
Giles Lewis, The Bell Inn, Norfolk. Mar/09 (posted Jan/10)

"I use your HospitalityMachine software on
my office computers, and they work flawlessly. And the amount of
software that comes included is amazing! I have had a great time
designing flyers, trying to design a website, and I do all my
office stuff. I can't believe this is all free! And no licensing
costs Again, thank you!"

"I use this on my
computers in my office. You've saved me a fortune! In fact
you've saved me so much money I've bought some more machines for
my network. And I didn't have to buy any software at all."

I've also downloaded your HM software
and I'm currently running it on my second desktop. I didn't know
you could run a complete operating system, and have lots of
applications, for free. It's been a real eye opener."

About my
remastered CD based browser application (HospitalityMachineKiosk):
-
"I'm using it in my cafe. I
don't have an internet cafe as such, but I found your software,
bought a few small old pc's, stuck them in the corner, and now
people come into my cafe just to use the pc's. And the funny
thing is, I don't know anything about this stuff! Thank you for
making this fool proof!"

"Hi Paul, just wanted to
say, your kiosk software is good stuff. The amount of hassle
I've had trying to find a SECURE kiosk environment, with a
Google Homepage, has been a incredible. And then I find yours.
Free! Proper stuff!" -
Michael Chung, Email, Apr/09 (posted Jan/10)
-
"I've used your instructions to copy this onto a USB drive. I
have given these to my parents and relatives. They now surf the
net in complete safety, and do all their online banking using
your kiosk software. This is SOOOOOO useful!" - Laura Price,

"Thank you soooo much for putting
this together - I'm surprised that noone has done this before,
the need for it is massive! I've been using it for staff
training computers in the common areas of Nursing Homes."

"I just wanted you to know that I
use your kiosk software on the computers in my pub, and I don't
bother doing a thing to them. They look after themselves. They
are safe and secure, and on the very rare occasions they glitch,
I just turn them off and on and everything is the same as
before. Thanks for dong this - I can give my customers secure
web browsing - even if I don't know how!" -

"Hi Paul. I just wanted you to know
that I've downloaded your HMK software, and now I'm using it on
my old computer. In fact I've also gave it to my parents and my
grandparents, and now they all surf the internet without fear!"

internet browsing only for the children..." -
