my first years on the internet, I copied about 50,000 ‘items’

LOL. I did the same thing. I printed out the entire hearing on Clinton's impeachment. I have a box full of "must save for history" articles. Finally I found out how to bookmark.

Finally I found out how to bookmark.<<<

LOL, so did I......but so often it is not there, when I go back and also now that the years have flown past, I can’t see the bookmarks........

My blessing was when Yahoo went to unlimited size on their email storage, now I send it to me at Yahoo, instead of printing it.

Yahoo emails have been good to me, I heard on the radio to open an account at a Yahoo type place, for junk mail, before I ever dreamed of being on the internet.

Then a friend traded me his computer, for my cream separator and a black powder rifle and hooked me into the internet, he even set up my first Yahoo email account..........And it took me a long time to see what was so great about it.

In those days, it was “you are going to get rich on the internet” and being me, I could not see how you got rich, when there was no reason for being.........OK, I was wrong on EBay, but not on all of the companies of the 1990’s.

Then I found Yahoo Groups and started learning, wanted to do it all, so printed all I could find on soapmaking, papermaking, and every other thing that caught my eye.

Now my family comes and suggests that I throw out the boxes of printed stuff.

And I do not, I will have the last laugh and all my junk on d-day.
