Made it to the Forum at last.  Hi to all who remember me (or want to) from 1970 to 1995 when I left.  With my background I should have got here earlier (percussion {not terribly brilliantly}, photography, music library, BBMag & computers).  Nice to see so many names I remember and recollections of times past, both good and bad.  Now living in Whangarei, New Zealand and running my own Internet Service Provider business, having spent 5 years running a rural Post Office in Appledore, North Devon.  Great to hear from anyone who remembers me & wants to get in touch.  I'll keep watching the forum.  Take care everyone.

You got me right as well Twink - miss those days in the back of Phil's van.  And Phil eating a curry & rice or kebab while driving.  Don't play very much now but still have a kit and few other perc instruments to keep my hand in.

I forgot to mention, it was you that also got me onto Macs in the first place. Since I left in 1995 I bought a Mac and have done so ever since. Now the proud owner of an Intel G5 iMac. Drooooools. Cheers once again MacMan. from MacFan.

I've still got a few Mac s dotted about the house, including a couple of original Macs from about 1984/5, as well as more up-to-date models, including the latest MacBook Pro laptop which I'm using at the moment.  Unfortunately, most of my work involves Windoze and Linux/Unix but Im still trying to convert the unwashed!
