I'm an expert computer user, having used one since they became available. I owned an Atari 800 back in the Paleolithic era, but one day it fell off my dinosaur, and quit working. Actually, it wouldn't play DigDug any more, and that made me lose interest in it. I then bought an Atari 1050, then a Macintosh, then a Mac Plus. I now own an eMachine, but would love to have an Apple, if they weren't so darned expensive.

I use PowerPoint to create presentations for the small company I work for, and often help friends with computer problems. I've recently (finally) gotten rid of my former boat anchor (I mean computer) which was a Packard Bell. The customer support you receive from Packard Bell is far less than non-existant, they don't even acknowledge that the United States exists, due to a pending class-action lawsuit by every single US owner with access to an attorney. EMachines is like a dream to me, and I really enjoy getting answers to Customer Support inquiries within 24 hours, from a professional company.

Enough commercials, this is supposed to be about me. Well, the photo (at right) shows me with my wife (far right) and new daughter-in-law, next to my oldest son. That's my daughter (four in the picture) who is now five. We also have another on the way.

Our back yard is certified by the National Wildlife Federation, as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat. We live in Norwood, Ohio, which is a very small city, but is completely surrounded by Cincinnati. We have many deer which traverse our property daily (we own an acre), and live next to ten empty acres, and have lots of woods nearby, which traverse neighboring properties and the railroad in our neighborhood.
