first started computing on a Sinclair ZX81 1k and in just a few days, I had upgraded to 16k!!  Next came a Lynx, which did not last long, as at the time, software manufacturers were concentrating on supporting the Sinclair Spectrum software.  Following this, a second-hand BBC computer was bought at a radio rally and this became my main computer for many years; I think I still have that computer today in storage!  As with so many things, times change, so a 486 PC was got and over the years, upgrades have been done to it and all the other PCs I have owned. I now have an AMD k6-2 400 with 10g hard drive, 384Mg RAM, 17" screen and CD-writer. By today's standards this is very dated.  I spend a lot of time working with graphics, using mainly Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro, amongst a number of other packages; this site is my first venture into web page design.  In addition to this, I use the Internet for research for my modelling and reverse engineering of software (cracking).
