- Hello,
-
- I'm a new visitor here. I have been on GEnie for two years, but they have
- decided to drop me. Well, maybe that's not entirely fair. GEnie was sold to
- Youvelle, and now it's Genie, but it boils down to the same thing, they've
- just about locked the doors (on Amiga users).
-
- I'm 41 years old, live in northwest suburban Chicago with my beautiful wife
- and three great kids, BGB, 16, 14, 10.
-
- I'm a member of the Ironworkers union, local 63, and I work for a fence
- company. I've been working downtown (Chicago) for over a year in the new USPS
- General Mail Facility. I've worked at Comisky Park, O'Hare Airport, the
- Manhatten Project Hazardous Waste Study site (Tyvek suit and all), the Federal
- Reserve Bank (in a vault), the United Center, Navy Pier, Soldier's Field,
- METRA Central Control Facility, and the Kennedy Expressway, as well as major
- hospitals, schools, hotels, public housing, and even movie sets.
-
- We have 2 A500s to use (since 1992), and last year I bought a 3000. The
- little guy recently resurrected the C-128 to play with in his room. I'm the
- only one with a modem, and I bought AmiTCP and PPP. I'm waiting on my new MUI
- keyfile. I like Mosaic, and I'm giving THOR a whirl. Thor is the first news
- and/or mail program I could get to function, so I'm leaning towards
- registration there :) I support Shareware.
-
- During my GEnie days, I found many on GEnie's Starship to be friendly and
- knowledgable (sp?) and I try to emulate them.
-
- I'm only able to check in 2 or 3 times a week, so I'll try not to send old
- info, but I hate to never send anything, so please have some patience with my
- lag time.
-
- I hope this isn't too wordy. I'm looking forward to participating.
-
- Thanks.
- - Rand
