HOW I GOT INTO COMPUTERS
Well, at the age of 9 I was at school and we were in maths and it was the first time we got to go into the computer room as they had a game where you had to launch a depth charge to sink a submarine at a position on the screen and no it wasn't the one seen in the arcade years back as you had to type in X/Y co-ordinates, angle etc. to where you thought the submarine would be. A few of my friends were ahead of me and they were doing pretty good at it, taking about 10 goes to locate and sink the submarine. Eventually it was my turn and I sat in front of the screen and I had been watching everyone else and possibly managed to memorize everyone's X/Y's etc. and logically worked out the screen and blam in one shot I got the submarine! LOL, everyone including the teacher gasped and cheered, which for a loner made me feel really special and from that moment I wanted to know more about computers so my mam went out and bought a Texas TI-99/4A computer where I first ever started learning to program in BASIC (Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code).
Yip, I was now hooked!
I dedicate my website to my mam who always pushed me into being very mathematical and logically minded and also pushed me when I decided computers was my destiny.
