Hi friend,
I probably have web space. I have a DSL account with AT&T.Yahoo.
Anyway, I really don't want to interact with the general public,
however, I though a site that worked more or less like a chat program
would be good. Or just a big blank page, where I could upload the
larger doc's for view by the list, then remove them as they have served
their purpose. Was that your idea or someone else's. Anyway, I got the
project started, but haven't got it running yet. This was a very good
day for learning. Thanks to you and all.
Steven
