For those of you who love lyrics — here's my Mom's personal web site.
Or, if you prefer, — site devoted to my GrandMa ;)
I am also very glad to present you the web site of my daughter — enjoy!
Even Oleg proudly wants you to look at his new Web page. He also made a web site for the Math Club at his school.

Some of you guys may want more professional info —
well, here's some Windows 2000 training for you :)

Hope you liked all that crap ;) Hope other impressions will come soon ;)

Yours,
Joker
