Hello from London

Post by jimster »

Hello there!

I've been lurking around this forum for the last couple of months soaking up the community atmosphere and thought I would pipe up and say hi. My journey started many years back when my school was refurbished and there was lo and behold a brand new computer lab full of beebs! I immediately got addicted and managed to persuade my mother to buy a Model B for me which I loved. I learnt to program on that machine and it set me on a course and career in software development and eventually project management. Computers now are very homogenised and I wanted to get back to a time when each computer was very distinct and different to others. So late last year I bought for myself a Model B on Ebay and later on a Master 128. My plan is to find some spare time to set up those micros and also the Pi econet bridge and explore the programming side of things again.

Jimmy.
