First timer...

Philatthebridge · 08-15-2007, 01:09 PM

Hi. Not only new here but my first forum ever - dya believe it?!

Little intro. I've a 5 and a 1 in my age but I'm not saying which way round. But it might help you work it out if I say I've been married to Lynne for 25 years!!! Two kids. Well, Anna's 19, just back from 6 months in Brazil and off to Cambridge Uni in Oct to do Russian and Spanish. And Jonathan is 14 and plays guitar and does loads of drama/filming/animation/ comedy etc on his ma (put 'Jonathan Townend Harry Potter' into YouTube search and see what you get!

As I said, my son has an apple and loves it. I need a new pc and am tempted to go 'Apple' - especially after recent virus/spyware problems on my Windows XP. Any opinions on that one?

In case I didn't say it earlier, 'hi' - from Halifax, Yorkshire, UK.

Hi there Phil. Welcome aboard.

I'm 18 so not too much different to you. I started counting back from 40 so work that one out.
