Since we are retired we can do as we please about eating. To me that is a wonderful pleasure.

I am called the host of the Macintosh folder on SeniorNet. I speak mostly with people who already have bought a Macintosh and know a lot about it. If they have a problem or want to share some information they post the message in the Macintosh folder, and I answer it as well as other people also giving and sharing information. I have never worked in a Learning Center so I have no experience with that.

I would say that I spend about 2 hours a day online, and most of it is on Seniornet, but not only on the discussion about the Macintosh computer. By the way, as in Japan most people on Seniornet do use a PC rather than a Mac.

And my discussion about the Palm, the hand held computer did not interest very many people.

I also host one of the folders on the Travel Section. That is about cruising, and I received a query last month from someone from Japan who is taking a cruise from San Diego, California through the Panama Canal to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

I also host two folders in the religion folder. One is for Agnostics and Atheists and the other is for those who are Believers and Non Believers. Both of those discussions are very active and busy. Everybody has an opinion.

I don't think I do as much as you expected for the people on the computer, and that is because I am not affiliated with a Learning Center. There is no Learning Center near Dover, Delaware.

I do a lot of volunteer work through a women's club here in Dover which is primarily to benefit the community. There are perhaps 10 members who have computers, and know how to use them.

I am sorry that I am not able to be of more help.

Speak to you soon.....Love, Fran
