Date: 20 Jul 1995 14:40:43 -0400 Organization: Panix Lines: 60 Message-ID: <3um7vb$ls9@panix.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: panix.com Hello, My name is Arthur Cinader. I am posting to you from panix.com located in New York City. I am a computer hobbyist and not a computer professional, although my job, managing a creative department, does involve a lot of systems. I got on the internet about three years ago with a dialup shell account and a macintosh running zterm. This was my first exposure to Unix (SunOs). I switched to ppp and dialup ip about 1 1/2 yrs ago. In this time I have read the K&R book on C programming and I am about halfway through a text on C++. I am also reading a guide to the C shell. I purchased BSDI and a Compaq Deskpro LX P90 w/1gig SCSI in December. About a month ago, I talked the company I work for (J. Crew group, inc.) into leasing me a 56k line so I can do r/d on the internet. Hopefully, the NIC will get my name, jcrew.com, up and running in a few days. I will make every attempt I can to answer questions that I seem capable of answering in this newsgroup, and I expect to ask many questions! My current projects are: Get a very simple web page for J.Crew up and running (point your browser at 165.254.159.2 if you want a preview...and to see how simple I mean!.) Get dialup ppp working (I can do dialout ppp, but I don't understand all that is involved in setting up a use for a dialup ip account...look for a post here on this soon!). Figure out something that I would really like to code in C or C++ Get an intuitive feel for Unix, like the intuitive feel I have for the MacOS (which I have been honing for the past 12 years) WELL, just wanted to say hello before I make my presence felt! AND if anyone of you live in the greater NY area, I would like to personally invite you to the next Panix (Public Access Unix, New York) beer gathering.
