Hello everyone

Well, I'm glad I found this site.

I wouldn't say I'm an expert but I've been dabbling on and off with computers since 1978.

My first computer was a Texas instruments 99/4a
Antique now....

I've worked with ICL VME 3980 mainframe systems and now build my own pc's both on the hardware and software side of things.

I find it amazing that there is always a new problem to solve with computers... You think you've got them roughly worked out and a new problem arises.

I've worked in a couple of other fields, car mechanics and building/renovating houses, plumbing...and a few other small bits here and there.

I hope to add some form of worthwhile contribution here at some point.
I'm quite involved with another major forum and it takes up a bit of time.

Just watching a film whilst I'm writing here. Hope to see you all somewhere around this rather large site..
:)
