it started so innocently...

i was drumming for a little band called 'the missing link' the ol' lady worked on her company's 'puter network just a couple'a nearly-normal psychos gettin' by she's hooked on a game called NTN trivia and me, i'm forever searching for stuff URLs started poppin' up all around in 1996 we got a home PC boy, oh boy, oh boy... BIG MISTAKE!

oh, it didn't hit me right away... first we just played around with the stuff that came pre-packaged with our new toy... solitaire, minesweeper, blackjack 'n pinball, a demo game of 'descent' we got online after a few months and she immediately found... NetTrivia! i was mostly just going all over the web, to yahoo or c/net ... or... www.dickbutkus.com and checking all the links from 'free stuff' lists. it wasn't long at all before i found out that there are places that let you have a page for nothing. that's x-actly how they getcha...

they direct you to sites where you start learning basic html. the next thing ya' know, you're hunting for strange new fonts and playing with tables and forms... friends try to pull you away from the keyboard, but it's too late. you skip lunch to tweak a color just perfectly. then you need a fancy-schmancy animation tool or something thus, the xone is here in cyberspace without any goal or mission. my only purpose is to have fun learning how to make pages, and maybe you will enjoy it too.
