Other Relevent Information

Clean Driving Licence since 1977. I have been interested in electronics since early teens, ultimately working on multi-processor machines and servicing them all over Europe. I first started programming mainframe computers in Fortran at 13 years old. I have also used Algol, Pascal, a certain amount of Delphi and BBC basic?, Other microprocessor specific Languages such as Assembly language Programing for 6502, 6800, 8080 and Z80.

In recent years I have used Photography along with writing to produce articles for a Magazine called Magpie. I was on the editing team, and did most of the computer compilation, scanning in the photographs and setting out the layout using pagemaker 5.0. Due to excessive printing costs it finished at Issue 4. I have created an e-mail address and Web space for the magazine. I have currently arranged a meeting with some of the members of the main editorial group with a view to resurrecting the magazine and to discuss it’s future on the Web. So far the response has been positive.
