Subject: Active Homepage Help by Matt [as of 7:31 am Thur, 7 Dec 00] 1. I am involved in updating two active homepages for groups that I am a member of. The first is the monthly calendar for the LINKS SINGLES group from Crystal Beach and the second is the "Pinellas Genealogy Society". So I am learning new things while doing this. 2. I have also started Temporary Home Pages for the members of the "Click and Drag Club" who do not have permanent homepages on Geocities. 3. If you are interested you can look at these following below...Matt

This count doesn't make any sense. The counter went up 680 numbers but I am sure not that many people looked at this page in just one day because nobody emailed me that they had been here...Matt The following CDC Current members were at the Seminole Library yesterday. Arlene, Caroline, Loretta, Matt, Una, and Ursula. The most we have ever had at the library at one time was nine. Bob never showed up so guess he changed his mind about learning about group addresses in his Hotmail Email Account. He could have sent an email saying he wasn't going to be there though.

I've been using the interenet free since I loaded up both NetZero and Juno in August 1999, but Juno sent me the following email message so it looks like I will load up Bluelight, too, so that I have another free internet acess...Matt [7:43 am Sun 3 Dec 00] Dear Free Subscriber: I'm writing to inform you of certain changes that are likely to affect a relatively small fraction of Juno's free subscribers who place the heaviest demands on our resources. Because your own use of the free service has historically been relatively heavy, I wanted to make you aware of these expected changes, of the reasons we are planning to make them, and of certain options that you may (or may not) wish to consider in anticipation of these changes. By way of background, although most subscribers to our free service use it in a way that's consistent with the expectations on which our current business model is based, we have found that some make such heavy use of the service that they impose a disproportionate burden on our technical, human, and financial resources. (Recent statistics show, for example, that just 5 percent of the users of our free service account for more than half of the total number of hours it is used to access the Web.) Beginning on Monday, December 4, we are thus planning to implement certain measures designed to encourage the heavier users of our free service to alter their usage patterns, upgrade to one of our billable services, and/or participate in other revenue-generating activities that might help us cover the higher costs they cause us to incur. While the details of these measures have not yet been finalized, examples may include (but may or may not be limited to) the display of additional advertising to heavier users and, perhaps more significantly, the prioritization of access to our free service according to usage levels and/or other factors. Such prioritization mechanisms may make it more difficult, for example, for the heavier users of our free service to establish or maintain a Web connection, particularly during those hours when overall usage tends to be highest, than would be the case for free subscribers whose usage patterns are more typical. The criteria used for such prioritization among Juno's free subscribers may include overall usage levels, specific usage patterns, the particular telecommunications carrier serving the subscriber in question, the subscriber's participation in certain programs that generate additional revenues for Juno, and/or other factors, and may (or may not) change over time, in each case as determined in the sole discretion of Juno's management. It is not currently anticipated, however, that such prioritization mechanisms will affect your use of Juno's e-mail system to send or receive e-mail messages. I want to emphasize that you are welcome to continue using Juno's free service within the constraints imposed by the changes we are planning to implement, and are under no obligation whatsoever to upgrade to one of our billable services. We recognize, however, that some subscribers in your usage category may prefer to switch to one of our low-cost premium service plans rather than either adapt their usage patterns or live with the access prioritization, additional advertising, and/or other changes we expect to impose on the heavier users of our free service. On the chance that you might be interested in upgrading your service in this way, we are pleased to offer you such premium access, along with access to live, telephone-based customer support not available to our free subscribers, for just $9.95 per month -- less than half the $21.95 price of a subscription to America Online. To learn more about this offer, click on the button that says "Premium Service." Let me close by expressing my appreciation for your continued use of Juno, and my apologies for any inconvenience you might experience as a result of the changes outlined in this message. Whether you choose to upgrade to low-cost premium access or continue using our free service subject to the constraints imposed by our anticipated changes, I want you to know how much we value you as a subscriber, and how eager we are to continue serving you in the future. Sincerely, Charles Ardai, President and CEO Juno Online Services, Inc. NOTE: JUNO'S FREE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, AND JUNO EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO THIS SERVICE. JUNO RETAINS THE RIGHT TO IMPOSE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR OR RESTRICTIONS ON THE USE OF JUNO'S FREE SERVICE; TO MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES WITH RESPECT TO THE OPERATION, CHARACTERISTICS, OR USE OF THE SERVICE; AND/OR TO TERMINATE THE AVAILABILITY OF THE SERVICE TO SOME OR ALL USERS; IN EACH CASE, WITHOUT NOTICE, AND AT ANY TIME, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.

Well, December starts off with bill paying. I usually pay my bills within the first five days so my bank account will pick them up and it is easy then to balance my checkbook when the statement comes in because they are contained therein. Six regular monthly bills: Electricity, Utilities, Visa credit card, Telephone, TV, and Car Gas. Rick asked me if I knew that Lee Marvin, the actor, was buried in Arlington Nnational Cemetery and I didn't. There are five people buried there that I worked with in the Army and I have visited their gravesites. I will have to see if I can find their names in: http://www.findagrave.com I found Lee Marvin's military gravestone picture there. He was a PFC in the marines. Time to start working on my annual Christmas Letter...Matt 6:12 AM 12/02/2000

Rick and Ruth left yesterday around Noon. So now December starts and most of you will have to go to this web site during December to find out what is happening with me. I start working on my annual Christmas Letter [which is on the internet for six years now] Here is a picture of Rick and I. More pictures later.
