    Computing

    • Musical accompaniment
    • If you would like to take part in a musical experiment CLICK below.
      You need to have a Sound Card, Speakers and Windows Media Player,
      or similar music software loaded on your computer.
      You should hear 3 minutes of piano & percussion played by my daughter, Lorraine.

      If (or when) Media Player is launched it should play after a pause of 8 seconds.
      If not click on the Play symbol. To stop, click on the black square symbol.
      To CLOSE the Media Player Controls, Click on it's top right magic X box.

      Click here to hear the music, hopefully.

    • Computing interests
      Learning how to write and upload Web Pages using mainly HTML4
      and assistance from the many persons who tell me what I have done wrong!
      I am also interested in preventing E-Mail sent Viruses from infecting my computer.
      I run Kaspersky AntiVirus and Firewall software.
      Learning is an enjoyable but painful process!
