Hi All
In 1980 when Clive Sinclair launched his Z80 (or was it the ZX81), I worked with a programmer who worked in a low level programming language developing the first intruder alarm control panel. Hence, for me, the hook of the computing world caught me. Before that , in the late sixties, I read with interest the text book called, "The Mighty Micro", by Jones. He predicted many of the facilities that are now all taken by granted, like word processing. In 1985 the Apple Mac Classic took my interest in the college of further education where all staff were trained in basic word processing and desktop publishing using Pagemaker. Being an electronics enthusiast, I then ventured into software control of hardware. From there, I ventured into communications in the form of ICQ and file transfer. I then began repairing corrupt Windows systems in home computers starting with Windows 3.1v up to the present where I now enjoy using and puting to the test Windows 7. It's the best operating system yet. Linux is my next venture. My biggest complaint is TIME who left us all a huge legacy of elusive drivers for their systems.
I welcome the opportunity to join in the forum.
Best regards to all enthusiasts.
