NERD LIKE - The Dreaded PC

I LIKE WINDOWS 95 - there I've said it - even if it is unfashionable. What really confuses me about the current Microsoft hate campaign is that Bill Gates appears to have achieved the "American Dream", and consequently America wishes to crucify him for it! It seems like a "no-win" situation to me.

I spend some time programming small applications (usually in Visual Basic) - mainly data manipulation and graphics, a lot of time working in 1-2-3 and Lotus Approach, and as much time as I can afford on the Web. (Remember that local calls cost money in the UK and access providers typically charge £10/month for 6 hours online - perhaps there is something good about the States after all))

Download my multiple file runner - I use it launch all my internet applications at once after having established Dial-Up-networking within Win95. Unzip the file in c:\multirun and follow the readme.txt.

Download Multirun.zip

Try my windows 3D mapview programme. Unzip the file in c:\mapview and follow readme.txt

Download Map Viewer

At the moment I'm really into VB 5 Control edition and ActiveX - but as you can see nothing on these pages so far.

MORE or LESS ENERGETIC - Kite Flying, Fishing, Sailing and Canoeing

And I'll write more about these a bit later

DOMESTIC - Gardening, Cooking and Drinking

And I'll write about these a bit later still!

Flight Simulator 6

I gave myself a new joystick for Christmas and really enjoy flying Flight Simulator 6. (My wife thinks I'm MAD or SAD or both). Try links to some of the best pages for new planes, Scenery etc
