When I worked at the mortgage
department at the bank I used a old IBM computer printing
mortgage contracts. This was about 1979 or 1980.
My husband taught me how
to use a Macintosh in 1994, it was very easy to learn.
No classes or anything, it just took a day or so. Macs
are great! Windows are not!
I started making web pages
when I was helping my husband work on his page.
Most of my computer skills were learned by experience.
I worked on his photographs, the page layout, and making
backgrounds and wallpapers. We travel around the Midwest
chasing trains, investigating highway routings, going to
antique stores, and taking photos of weird stuff.
We browse the Web a lot.
I look for new graphics to use on our pages, new web page
ideas, and info for both our pages. I look for crafting
sites, new and used books and other stuff. We correspond
with a lot of people via e-Mail.

I bought my
husband a new monitor for his computer, and he then gave
me his old one to connect to my computer. Since my computer
wasn't capable of running 2 monitors I bought a new computer.
I now am the proud owner of a brand new iMac 24 inch
with the new Intel Duo processer. It runs Windows (Ugh!)
as well as MacOS-X and allows me to have 2 monitors.
As you can see from the picture, I now live inside my
computer, so I can watch you all the time!
I have two Cats , Fuzzy
and Booters, Fuzzy is a Mama's boy and always hangs
out with me. Booters loves my husband best, and
sleeps with him at night.
They are good boys,
not very smart, but very nice and playful. They
both help me around the house, alerting me when the doorbell
rings or something happens.
