My name is Tony Sellick and I have had a long standing interest in computers and electronics. It all started when I worked as a draughtsman at what was then, English Electric Computers at Kidsgrove, Staffordshire back in 1967 when a computer was bigger than an average garage!
I was only there for just over a year but the job left me with a permanent interest in computers and electronics which persists to this day.
Later on in life I took my radio hams' examination obtaining my own call signwhich I still hold and was one of the first to buy a home computer around 1980 when the Commodore VIC20 went on sale. I spent many a happy hour on that writing programs in BASIC and when the Internet started I was soon on line starting with a Windows 3.0 PC in 1995 having dabbled in the delights of MS-DOS for years:-) On line in those days meant using a 14.4k modem! Broadband didn't exist and it was not unusual for a web page to take half a minute or more to load!
I designed my first web site in 1997 using Netscape Composer which was included with Netscape Navigator Browser long before Internet Explorer, Firefox or Chrome were heard of. Nowadays I do my web sites in Adobe Dreamweaver and try and use CSS to make them easier to modify if needed.
My other website is about Forklift Training and is over 800 pages. I have designed other websites for my son’s School of Motoring and my Sister in law’s Child minding company.
Apart from computers and forklifts my passion is music. I play keyboards and guitar and spent many years playing in bands around Shropshire. I also have a collection of over 60,000 karaoke tracks. I'm married to Lindsay who I send out to work whilst I persue my hobbies now I'm retired:-)
