Rose, it helps to have messed with computer and electronics since being a kid. I am just 14 years behind you. I have been messing with computers and electronics since age 10 (my first computer was a put together kit called an Altairre). my first consumer electronic unit was an apple IIc.
so, I've been around the scene for a very long time. :) -Eric On Oct 27, 2010, at 10:05 AM, Rosemary Gallagher wrote: > hi, all.
