breaking through

I'm not a tech like most here in Tech Republic, but I've discovered I can be here too, and may have something to say now and then that might be of interest or even help to someone.  You know, it could just be that I ask a good question that brings a new way of explaining something or a new way of looking at something. 

What I am is an artist who is attempting to use the computer to assist me with much of my work.  I am a writer, photographer, web designer, musician, and dancer.  I also do visual art, though not enough at this point in my life.  That's another story.  All these artistic media can be created or enhanced via computer technology - except perhaps dance.  However, even in the realm of dance as art, I can show the dance or photos of the dance on the screen. 

The computer screen is magic to me. When I saw my first website I said, "This is for me - I am going to create websites!"  At that time I was an Amiga user and was an active member of an Amiga users group in Santa Rosa, California.  and we had a guest speaker who came from another town and showed a site he had built and discussed then current web technology.  I was riveted.  What incredible magic I saw that evening back in the '90's.  By November of 1996 I had my first site up and was seriously hooked.
