I am not a tech, but am a long time computer user.  I started with The Radio Shack Color Computer, then the Color Computer2, then 3, then a 486 laptop and Win 3.1.  I now have a Packard Bell Pentium 200 running Win98SE
I do extensive web Browsing. Using Internet Explorer 5. I also have Netscape 4.51 and the Webtv browser installed on my system. My eldest son is an electronic Tech and my youngest son is a Programmer. I have learned a lot from both of them :)

I feel I am qualified to answer newbie questions, and have done so on several newsgroups. I have also answered some intermediate questions.
I am very interested in how things work. :) I am 63 years old and a female.
