resume reunion charmed Ex-Home

Colin McGregor's Home Page Welcome to my home page. This is Colin McGregor's home page on the Internet.

The Toronto Free-Net has been my great pride (and on occasion pain) for quite some time now. Here is some material about the Toronto Free-Net, the origins and history. (Read More... ) Other Interests. Little stuff... This is where I gather the bits and pieces that I would like to mention about myself that don't really demand a section on their own. For example, I'm a siamese cat owner ("Jasmine") or I am a fan of cookbook author Todd Wilbur's recipes. This is where I gather all these little bits together. ( Read More... )

Specialization is for insects. - from "Time Enough For Love" - by Robert A. Heinlein
