Computers are my livelihood. I got the bug at school in 1974, when I found we had an Olivetti teletype linked to the local council's ICL 1900 mainframe. I wrote a BASIC program that played draughts (checkers) and got an A' level in computer science. Since 1977 I have been working with various mainframes and minis made by IBM and Digital, as a computer operator.

At home I used a Vic-20 computer with 3.5k of RAM, then a CBM-64 with which I first got online to a service called CompuNet in the late 1980s, then an Amiga 500, an Amiga 4000 desktop and now a Macintosh PowerBook.

On this Computing section of my website I have information about UNIX, the Apple Macintosh and the Amiga.
