Age

37, been computing since 1981 when my dad brought a ZX80 into the house and found meself to be amazed that I could tell it to do things in an english like language and it would just work. No tape recorder though, so I sharp learned the value of writing things down for later re-entry :) From there I went to the ZX81, Spectrum, Amiga 500 and then (spit) pc. However, I bought as many computing based magazines as I could afford, not realising that 20 years later I'd be getting hold of quite a lot of the machines featured in said magazines, though I still haven't tracked down a DAI :) Workwise I started in Operations on a dual-node ICL 2966 mainframe in 1984 then got the PDP bug when my old computing lecturer in college got me back in because he'd seen (apparently) fledgling interest on my part. The rest is all DEC based history..... cheers w
