Marty: Hello everybody. I would like to say....
Bill: Hi Marty. What are you doing?
Marty: Oh. Hello there Bill. I was just about to begin sharing a little bit of my thoughts about my time spent with MC. Would my favourite muppet friend like to join me in it?
Bill: I'd like that very much. You're most kind Marty. Please begin.
Marty: Well when I first discovered MC forum I found it at random while surfing the net. I was living with my dear sweet Mummy and my Grandmother and Aunt on her side. We all shared a house together.
Bill: What was that like Marty?
Marty: Very good Bill. Mum and I had moved from our small country town Biloela to the city of Rockhampton to help my Aunt support my Grandmother in her advanced age.
Bill: That was very thoughtful of you both Marty.
Marty: Thank you Bill. Well to clarify my story I didn't have a computer when we first made the move. I had only had little bits of experience with the Internet trying it out while visiting my brother in the bigger city of Brisbane on his computer. To be honest a computer of my own was way, way, way out of the budget.
Bill: How were you able to get one eventually?
Marty: I'll come to that soon Bill. Anyway we settled in very nicely. Mother and I became involved with an Anglican Church across the road from the house though the others were not interested. We enjoyed the weekly Sunday morning meetings and I enrolled in theological studies run externally by the Church through Monash University. My mother was a big support in helping me get through them. They were lots of fun.
Bill: Did you pass Marty?
Marty: I sure did Bill. I received a Certificate in Biblical Theology. Mum and I were so proud.
Bill: Congratulations.
Marty: Thanks. Then I was considering doing further study, but there was talk that they were going to move the studies completely over to online. Thus cutting off the ordinary correspondence access I was previously doing. Well I wondered what the future would bring and I met a Christian man who was really into computers and from time to time he felt that God led him to people in need of a computer. So he always put together old second-hand computers making sure they worked well, so that he could give them to such people generously free of charge.
Bill: Wow. That's incredibly generous indeed.
Marty: It sure is Bill. So that's how I got my first initial computer. But I never had it connected to the internet. I just used it for typing up letters and other special documents and for playing Solitaire and other games. Eventually I was able to get a brand new computer from another source. Then I started getting involved with the Internet.
Bill: What happened Marty?
Marty: Let's take a little break Bill. I'll continue my story later on.
