    I enjoy intelligent conversations with anyone. Just don't ask me for money; I don't have any.
    If I'm online but don't answer you right away, be patient-- I may have to change computers if I'm on my Linux machine. For some reason this doesn't work right with Pidgin.

    WEBSITE DESIGN

    My web design philosophy is to emphasize compatibility with all browsers, keeping it simple and quick to load, yet pleasing to the eye. I am availible to design or improve your site at a reasonable fee. The main purpose of this site is to inform and verbally entertain. I oppose any web programming used to trap browsers in commercial sites, or crash a viewer's browser or computer for any reason, or to make viewing unnecessarily difficult by those with slower computers and modems and/or limited hard-drive space.

    History: The Inficad.com address was discontinued quite some time ago, due to inficad's high cost and dubious billing practices. NBCI/xoom was free, but they suddenly quit hosting. Acer-access.com was an excellent isp/webserver, but my Qwest phone was so poor in signal quality that I could no longer use dialup.
    Progress marches on
