Oh, there's more!!!
There now follows some boring stuff about computers I've owned.
I started off on a Sinclair ZX81, (well, that's not strictly true; one of my uncles had an early Acorn Atom which I was allowed to touch once, and my Computer Studies in school were on a) punched tape remote terminal and b) a Sinclair ZX80), and gradually moved through a succession of more powerful and/or complicated machines, from a ZX Spectrum, to an Atari 520STFM to a Packard Bell Legend  (much upgraded) through the machine I was using when I first set up this page, an IBM PC300GL (that's the Pentium 166mhz MMX, also much upgraded), to the machine I'm using at the time of the next update, a built from scratch Pentium II 450.  Now, (some time later) I have a network of computers, consisting of a home-build based around an AMD Athlon 1100, an eMachines P4 1.6Ghz PC, an Apple G4 MDD and a Fujitsu Celeron 450 laptop   I am also now the proud possessor of a Handspring Visor Deluxe (thanks, Andy!) and an iPod Shuffle (thanks again, Andy!)

I have a small collection of old machines; apart from the afore mentioned computers, (none of which has been disposed of), I also have a number of other IBM Compatable machines and an Apple //e, (which still works!), as well as an old Toshiba 1200 portable, and a Tulip NB 486sx laptop.

My dearest wish in all the world (as far as computers are concerned) is that 'Ultimate Play The Game' software is re-issued on either the PC or Colo(u)r Gameboy...
(Must be possible!  These things were really small games and probably the most fun you could have with a rubber keyboard!)
Failing that, perhaps some enterprising soul with a memory that goes way back to the early '80's, might like to code "Jumping Jack" (or, at the very least, tell me the rest of the poem, which began
"Jumping Jack is Quick and Bold,
With Skill his story will be told!)

As you may have gathered, I own a Colo(u)r Gameboy.  I had (and, indeed, still have), the original Gameboy, but when the Colour version appeared, smaller, lighter, using fewer batteries, I snapped one up.
