Hello,

My name is Arthur Cinader.  I am posting to you from panix.com
located in New York City.

I am a computer hobbyist and not a computer professional,
although my job, managing a creative department, does involve
a lot of systems.

I got on the internet about three years ago with a dialup
shell account and a macintosh running zterm.  This was my first
exposure to Unix (SunOs).

I switched to ppp and dialup ip about 1 1/2 yrs ago.

In this time I have read the K&R book on C programming and I
am about halfway through a text on C++.

I am also reading a guide to the C shell.

I purchased BSDI and a Compaq Deskpro LX P90 w/1gig SCSI in
December.

About a month ago, I talked the company I work for 
(J. Crew group, inc.) into leasing me a 56k line so I can do 
r/d on the internet. Hopefully, the NIC will get my name, jcrew.com,
up and running in a few days.

I will make every attempt I can to answer questions that I
seem capable of answering in this newsgroup, and I expect to
ask many questions!

My current projects are:

Get a very simple web page for J.Crew up and running (point
your browser at 165.254.159.2 if you want a preview...and to
see how simple I mean!.)

Get dialup ppp working (I can do dialout ppp, but I don't
understand all that is involved in setting up a use for a
dialup ip account...look for a post here on this soon!).

Figure out something that I would really like to code in C or
C++

Get an intuitive feel for Unix, like the intuitive feel I have
for the MacOS (which I have been honing for the past 12 years)

WELL, just wanted to say hello before I make my presence felt!
AND if anyone of you live in the greater NY area, I would like
to personally invite you to the next Panix (Public Access
Unix, New York) beer gathering.


With Best Regards,

Arthur Cinader
