Computing

I learned to use computers early on, I now have a Ph.D. In Computing, Software Programming, Hardware Repair, Website Design, and worked for a major software developer and as a senior computer engineer.

​

I have a few machines, mostly used for:

​

• Software Design

• Programming

• Writing E-Learning programs

• My novels

• Web design

• Photo & Video editing

• Social Media

 

My first computer was the ZX Spectrum; it was an 8-bit personal home computer released in the United Kingdom in 1982 by Sinclair Research.

​

The Spectrum computer was circulated in eight different models, varying from the entry-level with 16 KB RAM, to the ZX Spectrum +3 with 128 KB RAM fitted with a built-in floppy disk drive.

​

Other first home computers aimed at a mainstream audience in the UK were the:

​

• The Commodore 64 

• Dragon 32

• BBC Micro

• Amstrad CPC

​

I learned to program in various computer languages using the above systems.

​

In 1991, I migrated to a Microsoft version computer with Windows 3.0. It was an improvement on the previous systems that I learned on, but Win 3.0 lacked multimedia and network features, so Win 3.0 was quickly replaced with Win 3.1 and its appearance enhancement of the interface was immense.
