    Idea I am New (Little Introduction)

    Hello Everyone,

    My name is Bill, I am 38 years old & I am considered Legally Blind. I have been disabled All my life (I Guess). I mean my sight has been very poor since birth. As I reached the age of driving, that is when it really became a big deal. I could not pass the eye test.
    As I got a bit older, it was suggested by an eye Dr. that I try for disability. In 1993 I started getting it.

    I have tried many different jobs & nothing suits me like using a computer. So about 2 years ago, I started designing & hosting websites. I am not getting rich off it, but it is a little income & I really love doing it.

    I hope no one minds my popping in & making myself at home. I am not shy & type almost as much as I talk, lol

    I plan to post more, after I read more on here.....

    BILL
