    Started on the Spectrum 48k, then the 128 - won a prize in the young scientists for a statistical anylisis app on it once - a long time ago, then the Mac Plus, of all things, before trying my hand on 386's.

    My furthest foray into Windows application programming was a simple currency converter for converting between all the Euro-friendly currencies.</font>

    After 'Hello World' I think that's normally the app I try my hand at with any language I'm learning - at least I've written Euro-converters over the years in JavaScript, Java and (don't laugh) WMLScript.

    Hehe. I did that years ago (my age might not have been double digits smile.gif ).
    It was confusing at the time smile.gif

    Scrolling hello world was a tricky one too smile.gif

    I've written more program than u can shake a stick at (Assembly,TurboC) for DOS. Was doing very nicely... till some dick head came up with Windows 95...... and C++ & OPPS.
    I'm not going back to shcool for anyone.

    Started coding on an Acorn Electron when I was 5 (alright, so I copied out tutorials, but still! smile.gif ). Never finished any major project though, but I'm working on a content management system for Clubs and Socs in Maynooth, aswell as different ways to interact with Minds (the Maynooth Netsoc) over the internet (ie, other than a plain shell).

    The part of the project I'm working on now is a UBB-a-like in PHP/MySQL that supports as many sub-forums as resources allow.

    Next comes a webmail application that will keep the connection as secure as possible.
