Thx all for the welcome,
I was working; but cant be bothered and need a little break, (minimized windows are such a bad thing, good job they didnt have them on the BBC model B back in the good old days or I would never got anything done)
So my first 'puter that was a "C 64" I think back in '84 but my mind is very cloudy I do remember hunchback and bombjack though, then came the Atari STE. Then I think a 386 /486 and ultima & DOOM

and now I have bits and bobs all stuck together and from time to time it runs.
RL=after the RPGs (did love MERP)failed attempts to form a rock band and a few other experiences that I best not mention jusst in case, I got to leave home, the country in actual fact and discovered the joys of England wales first for 4 years.
Met a girl as the song goes...at some time through all this, got married settled down and have a little gamer OMW inc some time at the start of November

that will be achange I expect and I'm sure a few things will have to go depending on the wife aggro.
best get back to work really, before I put you all to sleep; I staring to nod myself.
Laters and thx again for the welcome.
P.s. I'm a teacher and have brought on my own little gamers so If anyone out there can hook my little LAN up with and of your kids in your country/school that could be fun.
