I am a bit of a "Techno Junkie" and I love computers...

In my chequered past I have been a computer programmer, have worked on a Support Help Desk, and have been an in-office network administrator.

Now retired from "the rat race" I have a Website Design business which has grown out of my "learning through doing" experience building this web site.


Viruses, Worms, Trojans and Virus Hoaxes are becoming a more and more common problem for internet and e-mail users.

Your best defense ~ after a good Anti-virus program and a properly configured firewall ~ is to be well informed.....
