It all started with one trip to Border's bookstore and I couldn't stop. I'd stay up until 5 or 6am, becoming startled when the sun came up. Computers always interested me. So I picked up an HTML book. I wish I could remember the book and the author because I'd like to send them a very heartful letter.
