| My half century under my belt (and too much
above it !), an ageing hippy at heart, a
borgeois capitalist on the outside (or something
like that).
After many years of 'gay' and 'not so gay' bachelorhood, in 1995 the mystery that is life brought Karen and I together and now I'm the epitome of a middle class family man. And a great and different pleasure it is, too. Career wise I've been a computer person for what sometimes seems like a long time. I was on my Cobol course when Maggie Thatcher was elected as Prime Minister... I installed my first LAN in 1984. It's great that we are now being able to do the sorts of things with PCs that I wanted to then ! As the PC scales new heights, Network Computing rises to challenge us. Only time will tell the changes it will bring, but you wouldn't be reading this if it wasn't for that network. Out in real life, I like to list my interests as Life, the Universe and Everything. After all - what less is there ? The things I tend to actually find time for are some travelling on holidays - especially to the west coast of Ireland - (and luckily, from time to time, with work), motorcycling, walking, visiting art exhibitions, cinema and getting involved with things like the Green Fair. I am also concerned for the state of the world, a member of CND and Amnesty, a supporter of Oxfam. |

And Rachel, last, but definitely not least !She joined us on 30th March '96We were warned that an Aries would be 'fun'
and so it turns out to be. Personality,
determination, fun, happiness... she has
it all. When smaller she could go to bed at any time,
and still wake up hours before mum and dad
thought it reasonable. Now at least
she does let us sleep !  |
