Hi my name is Tim, I recently signed up for the Zone, so far it really seems like a cool site, and I have met some really cool people here. I am looking forward to maiking new friends. Thanks to everyone for welcoming me to the site.
I am in my 40s and I am legally blind from retinitis pigmentosa, and I Live in Pennsylvania. My girlfriends name is Billie, and we have a cat named Punkin who is yellow andwhite
We are involved in getting a local chapter of the American Council of the Blind started, so if anyone has any suggestions to help get our chapter going please let me know.
I Like oldies music, as well as some newer country, such as Taylor Swift, Toby Keith, etc.
Also, I am just learning about computers, I have only hed our computer about a year and a half, so any tips would be appreciated, this is all still pretty new to me.
Thanks, Tim...

Hi Tim

I'm Becky and live in Ohio. I love cats and currently have a grey one named Smokey.

I'm a premium member and usually play games and read the boards while invisible, but occasionally I do come out of invisible status, so feel free to say hi if you see me.

Welcome o the zone.

Hi, Tim. I'd love to help you with computer questions, particularly if you use Jaws for Windows. You can send private messages directly to me by typing k a s k a l o r a in the users profile section. Just fill in the spaces. This is a cool place, and I'm fairly new here to. Smile. Good luck, and enjoy.
