About

Over the years I've built most of my own PCs, reinstalled operating systems, changed graphics cards and attached various peripherals both for work and home use. I've also used most operating systems (apart from MacOS), starting with PR1MOS and then moving onto various flavours of Unix. I'm now exclusively on Windows (until a job that requires Unix comes along!)
