For the beginner DJ:
    For those interested in getting into DJing, I have written a small article that you can view here.  Hopefully it will serve as a beneficial source.  Additionally, I'm sure that all the DJs included in the Special Thanks page will be more than willing to help you get started by answering your questions.  Just follow the links to their web pages in their own individual section & an e-mail address will be posted there.  I'm confident that their websites will yield plenty of informative material.  I recommend DJChat.com, ProDJ.com, DJ mall, & DJzone as sources LOADED with excellent information.  I will also do my best to answer any questions that you may have.  You can contact me at: webmaster@djmapy.cjb.net.  Good luck & keep in mind: "In the long run you hit only what you aim at.  Therefore, though you should fail immediately, you had better aim at something high." (Henry David Thoreau)
