Using a word processor program or any other computer application has more similarities
to using a typewriter or pencil and paper than you might think. If you make a mistake

                 just cross it out .                  However, try this border with a typewiter!

Well maybe the computer is just a fancy typewriter that is normally too fast to see one letter at a time being typed.

This computer gig CAN REALLY GROW ON YOU.

I have always been interested computer languages. In the ancient days of computers
I took a course in a programing language called PL1 (I told you it was a long time ago).
That was the only formal computer language course I took. I taught myself Basic and
and Pascal. I could not get into Visual C or Visual Basic. Then I discovered HTML

HTML ... JAVASCRIPT ... DHTML

 HTML (HyperText Mark-up Language) is easier to learn than traditional programing
 languages. So how did I learn to write web pages? I found this web site by
 accident while I was searching for something else. (I don't think I ever found it!)
 The home page has links to dozens of easy to understand tutorials.
 (At least the majority of the tutorials are easy to understand!)
 Joe Burns is the master behind the HTML Goodies web site.

HTML GOODIES

  NIC'S JavaScript page allows you to cut and paste Java Scripts. Since Java Script is
  much more difficult to learn than HTML these scripts are very useful.

NIC'S JAVASCRIPT PAGE

  DHTML - Dynamic HTML - Items once considered unchangeable on a webpage can now be changed
  For example - font size and color. At his site you can take free downloads of all
  the DHTML scripts that you want.

What is JavaScript?

JavaScript is a scripting language originally developed by Netscape to add interactivity and power to web documents. It is purely client side, and runs completely on the client's browser and computer.

Java is completely different from JavaScript- the former is a compiled language while the later is a scripting language.

DHTML is the embodiment of a combination of technologies- JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. Through them a new level of interactivity is possible for the end user experience.

These three web sites have all you need to write your own web pages.

 

Now that you have created your own web page, put it on the internet at no cost. Many
internet providers are offering their customers the option of developing their own website
without an additional fee. Geocities allows 15 MB of web space and you still
have your choice of internet provider.

Audio and visual effects can be either stimulating or annoying.

Found this great site that I thought you might be interested in -- MyPoints.com. It's free and they pay you with Points to visit other sites, read your email, buy stuff online, fill out surveys, etc. Then you can redeem your Points for great stuff like free rentals from Blockbuster, Eddie Bauer or Barnes and Noble gift certificates, frequent flier miles and more. They also have a free internet access. Not bad, huh? So if you join, I'll get an extra 100 Points, and you can get up to 150 Points just for signing up.

There had to be a first time! It was with "Amazon.com" that I finally built up enough
courage to use my credit card to buy books (or anything) on the internet.
UH OH! Now that I think about it, I used my credit card on day one when I signed
up for my monthly internet service.

I should give the competition some mention. My favorite book store has always been

I have found that AMAZON.COM has the best prices for books and CD's and even
the cartridge for my printer.

However, I don't buy books often. I take them out of the library. Either I'm economical,
cheap or I'm saving money for computer related expenses. I live in New York City which
has three separate library systems. The main branches are listed below:

New York Public Library:
Address:	20 W 53rd Street; New York, N.Y. 10019
Telephone:	(212) 621-0618
Web Address:	http://www.nypl.org/

Queens Public Library:
Address:	89-11 Merrick Blvd.; Jamaica, N.Y. 11432
Telephone:	(718) 990-0700
Web Address:	http://www.queenslibrary.org/

Brooklyn Public Library:
Address:	Grand Army Plaza; Brooklyn, N.Y. 11238
Telephone:	(718) 230-2100

I do not visit the New York or Brooklyn libraries but I do loan books from the Emma Clark
Library in Setauket, NY

Emma Clark Library:
Address:	120 Main Street, Setauket, NY 11733
Telephone:	(631) 941-4080

You might want to know what books I'm buying or taking out of the library. I'd guess
more than 50% of the books I read are SF. See the SCIENCE FICTION section below

I enjoy being part of the STAR TREK phenomenon. I have seen every episode of all four TV
versions. Besides great characters, many episodes include good SF as opposed to dumb SF
There must be in the neighborhood of 200 Star Trek novels. The best place to explore
the Star Trek universe is at the
