Born in 1971, the eldest son of an English-Cypriot and an English-Scot,
(both of whom were Londoners) I spent the first ten years of my life in
Barnet, North London, England, UK. I spent the next six in Limassol,
Cyprus, followed by various periods in Hertfordshire and London for
A'Levels, Imperial College, and finally work.
I have been known as:
zmacy61@doc.ic.ac.uk
alm@doc.ic.ac.uk
amclintock@cix.compulink.co.uk
alexmc@cray-communications.co.uk
alexmc@biccdc.co.uk
and now I am:
Alex.McLintock@chadwyck.co.uk
I also have a dial up internet account with the British internet provider
known as Demon Internet Services. This account (alex@arcfan.demon.co.uk)
will be restored as soon as I buy a modem.
I have a very high opinion of myself, so unless people tell me otherwise
I shall think that my PGG articles deserve the Booker Prize. Please do
criticize them. Any constructive comments are welcome, e.g. "I don't
understand x" or "y is boring." I also have a tendency to talk
drivel and write in totally convoluted English.

I own three Acorn computers and wrote the Risc OS specific version of the
Guide, for use with !StrongHelp. I have since abandoned that strategy in
favour of html files and html browsers (such as those used for World Wide
Web access).
I would love to hear suggestions on things in England that people might
want to know about. (This excludes the Lake District. Roel would
like me to write about it, but I don't know anything).
Enjoy!
