Hmmmm. Who is on the net?

How about a female part-time sports car mechanic who is an information junkie?
I don't even care for computers all that much (although I am not scared of them
like some people) and have marginal use for them in my very small business. I
live below the established USA "poverty level", am on Food Stamps, belong to
the SCA, am studying to become a libraraian (my need for computers is about to
change in a *big* way! :-) am a heavy poster to several soc.culture groups. I
come to you courtesy of a private BBS in Portland, Oregon, via a used Commodore
64 using a Kermit program.

The only thing I miss is the "space" afforded by a hard disk and larger memory,
but my "home" system has nearly unlimited file space, so it's not much of a
problem. I console myself, when twitted about my machine by IBM-pushers, that
this little machine would have filled a goodly space in the 50's, and belong to
a large business or university. :-)

I use it almost exclusively to access the net, and get about 15 pieces of email
a day from around the world...

(Sorry about the typo of "librarian". :-)

If *I* can do it, so can Zaire!
