<B><EM>A little bit about myself:</EM>
<BR>
First of all, I'm from a small town in Upstate New York called Elmira Heights. The Elmira area is probably more famous for the people who are dead and buried here, such as Mark Twain, Ernie Davis Jr., Hal Roach, and a few hundred Civil War POWs, but some of our local residents of more recent vintage such as Tommy Hilfiger, Eileen Collins, and Joey Sindelar (the Bodine brothers are from nearby Chemung) do seem to be doing their best to change that.

Hey folks. Are you tired of slow, tedious Internet access?
<BR>
How would you like 200 KBYTES per SECOND throughput rates?
<BR>
Do you cringe when you see heavily graphical web sites, knowing that it will take FOREVER for the 20 photographic .GIF encoded (ie HUGE) images to download? Well, check it out. My ISP is TIME-WARNER cable! Those of you who might have been living in a cave for the last year might not realize it, but your cable TV provider may very well also be an ISP! People, on our local FTP server I have obtained sustained, AVERAGE throughput rates of 238 KBYTES per SECOND! Folks, that is over 14 megs of data every minute. Even to offsite FTP servers I've seen transfer rates exceed 35 KBytes per second - that's still a blazingly fast 2.1 Megs of solid data PER MINUTE! Give up your slow, inefficient, busy-signal plagued modem based ISP connection and check out the possibilities of cable-modem access to the Internet. The <A HREF="http://www.pathfinder.com/rdrun/">Time-Warner Roadrunner</A> web page is the nation-wide web page for Time-Warner's cable-modem system, with links to regional systems, such as my ISP, <A HREF="http://www.stny.lrun.com">Time-Warner of Elmira</A>. Hey, Time-Warner is NOT the only game out there folks. There are plenty of OTHER cable-modem based ISP's out there. Check your local cable company. Ask them about Internet services, ask them when it's coming, ask them when THEY'RE going to be ready to enter the 21st century!

I'm a licensed Extra Class Amateur Radio operator. My callsign is <b><em>KU2S</em></b>. If you know a ham, or want to look up a callsign, the <a href="http://www.qrz.com">QRZ callsign lookup</a> page gives you the standard information along with beam headings. The <A HREF="http://www.buck.com/cgi-bin/do_hamcall">Buckmaster callsign lookup</A> provides standard info plus grid square info and map! Both sites offer multiple search formats. Here's an example of the QRZ Callsign search engine. Just enter a callsign and then click on the button.

<CENTER><FORM method="GET" action="http://www.qrz.com/callsign.html"> <B>QRZ's Quick callsign lookup: <INPUT type="text" name="callsign" size="8"> <INPUT type="submit" value="Find it!"></B></FORM></CENTER><P>The links below will open up a callsign search window and a repeater search window. The callsign search window allows you to search for the holder of a callsign you enter, or will allow you to search for the callsign of a person based on last name and location. Depending on web traffic, the search may take a little time. The repeater search window will locate repeaters at a given location and/or frequency. Be patient with these searches, depending on server load and search parameters, it may take quite some time for a search to complete.

<H3> Here are some links that no computer technician should have to do without. I've found them to be incredibly helpful!</H3>
<UL>
<LI>The <A HREF="http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid">FCC ID Search Form</A> allows you to enter the FCC id number of an electronic item and determine the manufacturer, and often the model of the device. This is invaluable information in trying to locate drivers and configurations.
<LI><A HREF="http://www.mrbios.com">Mr. BIOS</A> is a great site for finding BIOS upgrades for PC's. Year 2000 will require a LOT of BIOS upgrades!
<LI>Need a driver? Check out <A HREF="http://www.drivershq.com"> DriversHQ</A>! This should be your first stop and usually your last.
<LI>The <A HREF="http://motherboards.org">Motherboards.org</A> web page is VERY usefull in locating motherboard manufacturers, and in turn motherboard settings and patches/BIOS updates.
<LI>A companion page to the Motherboards.org site is <A HREF="http://www.ping.be/bios">Ping's BIOS web page</A>. By searching for your BIOS ID string, you can indentify motherboard manufacturer and model. GREAT info when you need to configure that mystery motherboard!
<LI>The <A HREF="http://webhq.netfirms.com">Motherboard Database</A> is also incredibly usefull in locating motherboard information. This particular one specializes in unsupported 486 and early Pentium boards.
<LI>Okay folks, this one is VERY helpful. If you ever find yourself building cables, adapters or even filter circuits, you will really appreciate the <A HREF="http://www.pbmedia.net/hwb/hwb.html">Hardware Book.</A></UL><CENTER>
