We love ya Stros!

Tired of all the drab black, white and grey websites? We are, too. So we kept our site in colors. Our favorite colors as a matter of fact. Red, White and Blue!

We've been on the World Wide Web since 11 days after it became open to the public in 1991.

Enjoy our colorful, informative 1,500+ pages as we educate, enlighten, entertain and inspire!
