Good Evening Marlene:

My name is Ruth McCurry.
I am a webmistress, have websites on a number of free websites.
Tripod, Geocities, and Free Yellow, just to name a few.
I've only been online a little over a year now. I'm hailing from
San Antonio, Texas.
My domestic partner and I have just received our domain name, and I've
been trying to learn how to up load pages to the new server I've purchased.
I sell hand held self defense weapons for women, and am a reseller of web-
space on the server I belong to.
At present I belong to several lists, and today is the first posting I've
received from you list since I joined. I was beginning to wonder what happened
to you.
At present I'm running our small business from a one bd apt. but we're
looking into purchasing a three bd place in the country, so the computer
and business can have a room all of it own.
I've found it's hard for a woman to run a business on the internet.
Just finished talking to a friend who wants me to make some teddybears
for him. He'll supply everything, and I'll make them, and advertise them
on the internet. Would also have to make up a website for him, and keep it
updated. But he only wants to pay a small percentage of the sales, and to
me with all of the work I'd be doing, it wouldn't be worth it. He was very
upset when he found that he would have to pay to have a website set up, plus
paying me to maintain it every week. Said that wasn't the way he did business.
Gee just because I'm a woman don't I deserve to make a little money also.
Ok, so now I've griped, does anybody else have this type of troubles?
Ruth E. McCurry
