ABOUT ME
Welcome to my site. I’ve been playing with computers for a long time. I was very young when the TRS80 came out, but I can honestly say that I did see one. I am truly amazed to see how much computers have evolved since the early 80′s. I’ve been on the Internet since 1993 when I had my first AOL account. I remember the sheer thrill of playing Duke Nukem for the first time. Now, I have my own web site, but one thought keeps coming to mind, “The best is yet to come.”
