I named my site 'Lorraines' Treasures', because that's what it is,Family, Friends,and places I have been, that's helped me a lot, to motivate, and help me set up my Website. This is something I never dreamt I could do, but with the help of others, I was able to have the courage and motivation to try.

  I wanted a place to put family pictures, so I could share it with my family, and my friends, and what a better place than a Website.

  There were many that helped me along the way, to show me there was more I could do with my computer than just play Computer games, or surfing the Net. This is just a few, out of all the people, that's helped me learn what the computer was all about, and I still have so much more to learn. It's hard for me to comprehend how things work, I have to have hands on, I can't read what to do, because I forget what I've read, unless I'm doing them both at the sametime. There isn't enough words, to thank everyone that has helped me to learn to move on.

  Mark from the UK (HD462)....Mark was the first. I met Mark on a Forum for a graphis program 'PhotoSuite'. He has help a lot of members learn about the program. He's helped me, and tried to explain to me, how the program worked, and believe me I needed a lot of help. As time went on, I did get better, and he said, if I wanted to, I could help with some of the questions the members had, and he was right, I didn't know a lot, but what I did know, was of some help to others. If there was a question I didn't know, I tried to look it up. That was when I got a little braver, and started moving around more in the program, and on the computer.

  JT (Jtrupt) from SAF....When I got my new Windows XP computer, I wanted to get cable, and go wirless. so I went on the SAF Forum, and ask if it was possible for me to do it myself, JT, among others,came to to my aid, and said I could do it, and if I wanted to try, they would help me. It took me a while, with the mistakes I was making, and having a hard time comprehending what I needed to do, but JT stayed with me, and got me through it.
  The same with my 98 computer, when I was ready to hook it up wirless, JT was there, to get me through that too. and others had also helped. JT said I never gave up. I guess what it takes is patients, and I have a lot of that, and the wellingness to try. I must say, JT and others got me thinking, and it gave me the courage to try other things.

  Jim (JimO) from Windows Help....Jim gave me the opportunity to be a Moderator on his Forum, even though I didn't know anything about computers. I have my own little Forum now, and being a Moderator has helped a lot to understand how the Forum workes.

  Gary (GFN)....Gary doesn't realize it, but he has also helped me, just being there as a friend, and if I needed anything, all I have to do is ask. Even with my lack of knowledge, he has a way of making me feel, that I was better then I thought I was, and I could do more than I thought I could. Yes Gary, you have inspired me a lot, and I'll never for get it.

  Tom (TomO)....I can't thank Tom enough, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Tom. Oh! I might have had a website up in a year or two, but it would'nt have been as nice as the one I have now.
  Tom has helped me set up my own website, along with my own username, and FTP, and not only that, my own Forum. (Lorraine's Place) How lucky I was, when Tom put an HTML Practice Site, on his own WebSite, for anyone who wanted to learn how to make there own WebSite from scratch using HTML, so you can set it up the way you would like it to be. The only program I have on my WebSite, is for the SlideShow.

  There's three more, I would like to thank..DavidE, Gail, and Réjean....

  David sent me a beautiful Picture, I wanted to print it out, and frame it, then I thought, Boy! wouldn't that be perfect for my Home Page. I tried it, and I just love it. That was the start of my Home Page.

  Gail, I met on my Forum, She came there to help out anyway she could, and she sure helped me out, she's a great asset to the Forum. Gail has her own WebSite, and she has these beautiful buttons to click on, to go from one place to another. Gail said, If I wanted to learn how to make buttons like the ones she has, for my WebSite, she would help me, and she did. They were made in PSP (Paint Shop Pro). That's another Program that takes time to learn, so I was very busy for a while.

  Réjean had a Font on his site, that I liked very much, and would go perfect with the picture I have on my Home Page, and said I was welcome to use it.

  I'm very proud of myself, for what I have accomplished so far, and for all the friends I have met. There is more work that needs to be done. The WebSite is still under construction, and as I find the time, I'll keep working on it.
