I have worked in engineering companies and computer companies for over 20 years so you can gather that I admit to being over 40. I have been lucky that, but for a 6 year stint, I have been in positions of management for all of my working life. Recently I have started working for myself, working from home, offering help & advice for people/small businesses with use, setup, applications uses, and Internet information.

I have a degree, granted twenty odd years ago, at a Polytechnic in Portsmouth, England. The subject of the degree is "Engineering With Business Studies" which was, what they called at the time, a "thick sandwich" course as you spent the third year of your four year course gaining work experience in an industrial establishment. Of 23 people who were registered for the degree on the first day only 5 of us got a pass.

I am also Fellow of the Institution of Analyst and Programmers. This organisation is for Computer Analysis and Programmers offering a more practical and less technical/theoretical ideals.

I am, as at mid-October, divorced with my wife leaving me, but technically married at present, with one daughter. 

Living on the south coast of England where I can hear the sea within 1/2 mile of here. I tend to be spoilt for local holiday attractions and amenities as this area is regarded as holiday area.
