Hi Simon,

I recognise your name immediately from the Amstrad CPC adventure game 
days -- if this is not you, I apologise in advance.

Glad you've found Debian -- using testing myself now, on a mixture of 
old Macintosh and PC computers, as well as keeping my hand in with 
Spectrum and CPC software.

I'm a bit advocate of free software, severely dislike "open source" and 
work in my spare time for the Free Software Foundation, doing 
accessibility and usability for their website.

matt
