   In my last post, I forgot to mention that it was a subscription to Prodigy   
   that ran out,    
   and that is what enticed me to start my own BBS.  I was heaper for me to   
   purchase the    
   software than it was to renew the Prodigy subscription.   
      
   My wife used to post in the 'Cross Stitch' area, so I waned to create a   
   network dedicated    
   to the niche of hobbies.  So, HobbyNet seemed to be a good choice.   
      
   I learned how to code in HTML by reading the page source of other websites,   
   entering it    
   into Notepad, then making changes t see the results.   
      
   Then, Microsoft came up with Front Page to make editing pages easier.  Then,   
   Microsoft    
   Expressions Web 4, which is what I use to this day.   
      
   I started a business doing web design and web hosting and have done designs   
   for over    
   200 companies, including a couple in Dubai.   
      
   I love computers and everything all the joy that comes from them.  I learned   
   early on    
   that if I wanted to visit anther country all I had to do is type in a domain   
   in a browser    
   and I was there in seconds.   
      
   Any other computer love stories out there?
