New around here? Want to introduce yourself? Here's a thread! Or if that whole practice makes you want to disappear, uh...Make someone up, or introduce your pet instead!

Whatever floats your boat, and hey, if you have a boat, introduce that boat!

Oh, and before I forget (again), I've written a relatively brief FAQ to help folks find their way around here.

Hello! I'm 58 from Missouri and I just signed up here tonight. I'm fairly techy. I remember connecting to various BBS while in school with my 24k modem on my Tandy 1000 from Radio Shack. But this is all a bit overwhelming and a little confusing. I'm committed to getting the hang of it all and ditching the other place. Picture of my dog that likes to sit on rocks.

I honestly miss all the local BBSs and FIDOnet. Life was much simpler.
