Re: Alt= In Images

["Ray Saldana III" <raysaldana@theriver.com>]

I use Internet Explorer. I use to be a die hard navigator fan, but with the
advantages Freedom Scientific has introduced to using IE, I had to relent.
    I maintain a page for the boss, my wife, it is www.marthamyhre.com . I
am also undertaking producing pages commercially. I put the URL for my home
page in your guestbook. It is to posted yet, within a day or so all of the
navigation will be set and it should be running.
    I loved the story about the games! Isn't it incredible how things will
happen! I had to laugh that the third game fixed the first! Then I learned
something, didn't know I was a geek, but you opened my eyes to this fact,
actually don't know how grateful I am for that one though.
    Have a great day, and keep on keeping on!
