This is really cool! Where do you find the time to do this kind of stuff?! -David InReach Internet Communications

High school leaves plenty of time for goofing off with various computer projects.

John Doe: I just called to say... hello there!

You called? I think you actually used the Internet, not a telephone, to say that.

John Ritchie (lint@hooked.net): I hope you arent mad that Im doing this, Im bored, and my friend told me about your page; I decided to explore.

You wasted all my paper! I'm really pissed off!

Randy Rambo (hui@ilhawaii.net): Aloha from Paradise Eric, I like the Yikes! page and your link, cool! What do you pay to keep this page running? Keep in close touch brudda. Mahalo, RR :-d

Glad you like it. I don't pay anything to keep it running.

Mark Miller (mamiller1@ualr.edu): Uh... hello...And...uhh...how much do the print contrages cost??? Hello? My email is mamiller1@ualr.edu

Do you mean print cartridges? They ribbons for an ImageWriter printer are cheap. And, if you don't really care the quality of the printout, they can last a long time.

And finally, positive feedback from Jeff Keyzer:

Jeff Keyzer (jkeyzer@calweb.com): Wow, this is pretty neat!
