                                            |  | Sorry 
                                                for the pause in updating the 
                                                website, I have been very busy 
                                                with my work in the past months. 
                                                The Website was featured in the 
                                                June 2002 edition of Esquire Magazine 
                                                www.esquire.co.uk, 
                                                they used the images in the Retro 
                                                Gaming article. More exciting 
                                                than that is the up comming TV 
                                                program that will feature my collection 
                                                of computers. The program was 
                                                filimed on 5th May and will show 
                                                sometime in October this year 
                                                on BBC3. I have pictures of the 
                                                film crew and my collection which 
                                                I will post on here soon.
 I am also getting a 1MB broadband 
                                                connection installed soon which 
                                                will allow me to upload the NES 
                                                roms, all 300MB of them. Until 
                                                then I will keep updates to a 
                                                minumum.
 
 Later ... HT.
