text: how did i get  along? i just got a computer. i have always stayed away from getting one because i was afraid of them. i am 52 snd catching up with the rest of the world. its about time.. when one lives in the dark, one stays ignorant. since you are a newbie, i'm sure you would like to experiment with putting your own web site on the internet. try www.geocites.com they'll give you free web space and tools to build your own site. they just want to put ads on it. yet you get to express yourself to the wired world.
