Bill Larnach's computing page

I bought my first computer (an Amstrad 2086) in 1994 to use as a word processor to help with my Open University assignments. In 1995 I bought a Viglen P5/133 that I'm still using now, but my main PC is a Mesh AMD Athlon XP 2000, with a Rock Sigma PIII 850Mhz laptop as backup. I'm interested in all aspects of computing, but I particularly enjoy programming and the Internet. I have experience of C++, Visual Basic, Smalltalk and SQL programming through my Open University studies.
