Your visitor <load images to see the counter> since may 11th, 1997. I am a disabled student, currently involved in the design of a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant).

I would hope to go into initial production in the next 6 months.

Some more detail. At the age of 12, I contracted glandular fever, and went to school with this. As can sometimes happen due to exertion during virus infection, I developed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

This is a debilitating illness, that affects many aspects of health.

In the initial years, I was bedridden for 23 hours a day, with severe muscle pain, migranes, and light aversion.

I was unable to attend school during this period, and practically did not attend secondary school.

However I managed to attain physics, chemistry, and english qualifications through home tuition. It was during this time that I began to become interested in electronics and computing. I am not fully recovered, and still have some problems with migranes, and weakness.

I have been attending stirling university on a Computing Sciences/Mathematics degree,and have taken a years break from study, as I was not quite able to achieve my potential, though obtaining A and B grades.

Pictures of me, Hmm, imagine a composite of Sean Connery, Arnold Scwartzineger, and Bruce Willis. Boy would I like to look like that... :) Anyway, I may put a picture up soon, if I can remember where I put my scanner.
