My Big Sister

As some of you may be well aware, I am the middle child of two sisters, neither are internet nerds. For them, cyberspace is this thing where you order cheap plane tickets, e-mail people and play solitaire.

Deidre, my younger sister, is much more internet savvy as at least she's got her own thing going on at Blackplanet.com and used to be an avid chat room chatter before she got bored of the whole thing.But my big sis Denise, despite her engineering creditials, is all "Commodore 64" when it comes to the internet.

Peep her following email to me over "Danielle Belton Online."

Denise: "I saw your webpage...are you the only one that posts anything on it??? And what is a BLOG?? Or is it just the name of the domain that holds your web site?  It is such a pink website. I didn't know you really like pink. You know I would have picked a different color. But it was cool....I think is it is...as in Daddy's word....neat!  How long did it take for you to set it up?  I am SOOO web illiterate."

I shot her back an email and got her hip to the game. Now she's all chilly on the subject.
