A DAY OF FIRSTS!

I just sat down to write my very first blog -- right after I installed DSL for the very first time. Timing seems good, doesn't it?

I have been on the internet for a couple of decades now - back when I was afraid every time I touched the computer in fear it would explode or something -- when to move the tower you had to lock the hard drive (remember that) and flex your muscles since it was quite heavy, when compuserve and prodigy were the only choice out there, and compuserve was not easy to use -- and boy do I miss those forums. And since that time I have always been on dial up. First, because it was all there was and then, when better was available, I always lived too remotely to get anything I could afford.

So, today I stepped up to DSL - thanks to my sister giving me DSL for a year for my birthday. Thanks Sis!

MY GOODNESS! I don't know what I thought it would be -- but this is even faster than I hoped for.

Next is pogo.com to see how playing cribbage is on DSL -- cuz on dial-up it's just almost impossible.

I feel like a kid in the candy store!

And so begins my blogging experience. I'm sure it will be bumpy, and I'm sure I'll make some mistakes -- and of course I still have to figure out what I'm blogging about. But for today? I'm having fun!
