when i left school i had to get out and help put the bread on the table. its only now i can find the time to try and get p c literate. the closest i came to technology was the starting handle on machines on cold winter mornings, with cement bags burning underneath to help wam them up. happy days eh??? :(
the cliche of silver spoons blah, blah, blah springs to mind.
re errors tonys book.... the man who never made a mistake never made anything a? or summet like that. :p

I'm a complete novice, so it's probably my lack of understanding rather than an error in the book, but in the photo on page 133, have "left" and "right" been swapped over?
