Re: RE: Good Old (Tech) Days....WAS "Can this career be saved?"

[Ed Marsh <lists -at- edmarsh -dot- com>]

I started my TW career on XyWrite. I HATED it. Fresh out of
college, who wanted to input tags to write? Plus, it was just plain
ugly. 

Two years later, I started writing HTML and CSS. That, for some
reason, made a whole lot more sense to me.

the coolest of the cool.
