Annick Elziere uses her computer to meet people and share wonders of Hunterdon By Nicole Radzievich

Annick Elziere learned back on her kitchen chair--her hand resting on the red-and-white checkered tablecloth, her eyes focusing on her 3-year-old Packard Bell computer, printer and scanner cramped in the corner of the kitchen.
