Toolman’s Workshop!

1.INTRODUCTION

Hey there! Good to see you! Come on in and sit for a while.
Put your feet up, the beers in the fridge. Relax, and listen to
the ramblings of the Toolman. (You might even learn something,
if your not careful!)

I am in my early 30’s, and have been in the maintenance field
for most of my life. I am a universally certified refrigeration
technician. I also do building electrical, plumbing, heating,
appliance repair, welding, remodeling, and a little bit of carpentry.
(I even work on my own cars, when I have to. hehe) I guess you
could call me a Jack of all trades, but when it came to computers,
I was lost!

I had never touched one, until that one fateful day, when I came in
to work, and saw it sitting there on my desk. They had fired
the foreman, and this was their idea of a cost effective alternative.
There it sat, just starring at me, with that blank screen,
waiting for me to do something. So, with only one day of training,
I began to learn how to use this thing that had been forced
apon me. In the months to come I began to see that it, was just
another tool. I found out that I could actually use this thing!
Wow! Well, that was it, I was hooked!

I learned all I could about the computer, and on Oct. 96, I finally
joined the crowd, and bought one of my own! After six months of
trial and error, and uncountable hours on the tech support lines,
I did get the hang of it all. The Internet was my next passion.
After surfing the net for six months or so, I began to wonder
if I could create a page of my own. Well this is it! I did it,
and it was easy! (well, not too bad anyway.) Now, I want to show
you how to do it also. Here are the best tutorials and links
(in my opinion), to get you started, and on your way to a home
on the web!
