In the Fall of 1994, I began teaching (full time, that is) Exercise Science at Christopher Newport University in
Newport News, Virginia. Being one of those students who could never get enough details in the information, I endeavored to
ensure that my students did not suffer from a lack of information. (As it turned out, they probably suffered from
a related problem :) - but that is another story). To provide this information, I needed (or perhaps wanted is a more
appropriate word - you see, I was still learning and still yearning to learn) to gather all this detailed information
and then compile (write down) all of these (are you still reading this ???) juicy details and extra tidbits
that I was going to use in my lectures. Enter Word Perfect 5.1 - but that, too, is another story. Anyway, to get all
this information across, I had lots of verbal lectures, overheads, and such, and I found that (I can't believe you're still
reading this...) while I was showing an overhead, many of the students were busily writing and not understanding. So, with
web browsers becoming popular (Mosiac was still hot, and Lynx was common - Netscape 1.0 was just around the corner) I saved
my Word Perfect files as DOS text files and posted them under my userid (you know, the tilde "~" website) for the students
to print out before or just after class - and certainly before exam time. Later I graduated (or was assimilated -
"resistance is futile") from Word Perfect to Word when Windows / Office 95 came out. New files were still developed, but
alas, that too is another story.
