I have been involved with computers since 1990. Starting as a complete novice, I had a lot of help from son , Tom, the Orange Coast IBM (Compatible) PC User Group, the Computing Dictionary, the MicroTimes, California's Computer Magazine and other computer magazines, such as PC Magazine, PC World and Windows Magazine .
I am grateful to the Microsoft Corporation for their great software such as Windows 98 and Microsoft Works, to Intel for their wonderful microprocessors, to JUNO for free E-mail addresses for many friends, to EARTHLINK for their fast and efficient on-line service, to Netscape for their fantastic Web Browser and to the World Wide Web for endless information of limitless topics at my fingertips. But, I must be tested, weekly, to detect Internet Addiction.
I have a Pentium II computer from Maximus and bought many extra goodies for it at Fry's Electronics , such as a color inkjet printer from EPSON, a WinTV card, and a fast LTWin modem. After all this expense, my first project was my Will.
My favorite Search Engine is the free Yahoo! (obviously named for users' reactions) and the larger and more complete, Alta Vista , but I use many others as needed.
