I have been fascinated by computers ever since I bought my first Sinclair ZX81 Computer in 1983. It used a standard cassette recorder for recording programs. The monitor was an ordinary black and white television set. You really had to press hard on the keys to see anything on screen and you also had to write your own programs in basic.

Then came the ZX Spectrum in 1984, same thing, but in full colour! That was really WOW!

I shot a VHS video of the kids concert and then programmed an introduction and an ending for the video with the Spectrum, captured it with a VHS recorder, advertised it to all the parents and sold about a hundred videos.

Since then I was hooked on computers and I am sure I have spent more time behind a computer screen than I have sleeping.

I have had the pleasure? of having bought each and every one of Mr. Gates' OS's. From the first DOS on a twin floppy drive, then a twenty meg hard drive, a 286, 386, 486 with an MS DOS Bible twice as thick as a normal Bible.

Then came Windows and I was taken prisoner. In DOS you could always figure out any problems and fix them yourself, because each app you installed was in it's own cocoon. In Windows the .dll's, registry, system32, malicious software and what not had me completely baffled. All I could do was play along.

So, here we are, Windows 7 and nothing becomes easier. If you don't learn each day, you fall behind. Wish we were still in the ZX Spectrum days.
