Hi I am an oldie, aged 55 professional from New Zealand, but have been around computers since they started off I guess. Commodores, IBM's, small screens, Olivetti typewriters with wow screens and disks for precedents!!

Still learning, and still spending heaps on new tech when it comes in.

I enjoy wasting(?) time watching what is new on BBC click and news 360 tech feeds as well as all the rest of the rss feeds etc available.

Now going paperless and loving it.
