These pages where built on an Amiga 1200 running the default Workbench v1.3 text editor and Deluxe Paint 4 with a 19.2kbps direct serial connection to the Internet via my university in Kent. This was considered a high speed connection in the days when 14.4 modems where standard. ;) The main site was hosted by a company called Virtual PC based in the UK with the jingles hosted on a Finnish ISP called Netsonic. The original URL was http://www.virtual-pc.com/timo/home/nick/
The current site is at https://www.w2s.co.uk/nick-abbot/
