HI EVERYONE,

          MY NAMES DONALD. I GREW UP 40 MILES NORTH OF CHICAGO ILL. BACK IN 1986 I CAME DOWN TO FLORIDA IN JANUARY TO VISIT MY NEPHEW. I LIKED IT SO MUCH I DECIDED TO MOVE DOWN. I WENT BACK HOME PACKED EVERYTHING UP AND 2 WEEKS LATER I WAS BACK IN ORLANDO AND HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE, EXCEPT FOR 6 MONTHS I LIVED IN SCOTLAND.

        I HAD A BAD BACK INJURY AND HAD MY BOTTOM TWO VERTEBRE FUSED. WHEN I RECOVERED I WENT TO SCOTLAND ( MY MOM WAS BORN THERE). I'D PLANED ON STAYING 6 WEEKS BUT ON THE 5TH WEEK MET A GIRL AND STAYED FOR 6 MONTHS :^)

      I'VE HAD ALOT OF FUN AND LEARNED ALOT SINCE I GOT THIS MAGIC LITTLE BLACK BOX. I'VE MADE MANY GOOD FRIENDS AND MET SOME VERY KNOWLEGEABLE PEOPLE THAT HAVE HELPED ME AND I IN TURN HAVE TRIED TO TAKE THAT KNOWLEDGE AND PASS IT ON TO OTHERS.

    I'VE ALSO BECOME INTERESTED IN PAGE DESIGN. I RECENTLY REDID MY FKEY TO GIVE IT A WHOLE NEW LOOK. IT HAD BEEN JUST A PAGE WITH SOME LINKS TO N.G.'S. I'D MADE A PAGE FOR MY GOOD FRIEND NANCEE AND CALLED IT THE ROSE GARDEN. I COMBINED THE TWO INTO WHAT IS NOW THE ROSE TOOL GARDEN. I'VE ALSO JUST FINISHED A LARGE FONT TEST BED DESIGNED FOR NANCEE CALLED "GRASSHOPPER'S TABLE TEST BED."

      THIS TEST BED WILL BE GOOD FOR FOLKS INTERESTED IN MAKING TABLES. A CLICK OF A BUTTON WILL PUT THE CODES FOR DIFFERENT PARTS OF A TABLE IN THE TEST BED. THE SCRIPT WAS WRITTEN BY RIVERDRIFT AND I MODIFIED IT TO OUR USE.

SEE YOU AT HOME PAGE OPINIONS:^)

TAKE CARE,

DONALD
