  I *thought* I recognised that name from somewhere! Is he the guy in
the Sunday Telegraph, last weekend? They had an article of computer
wizards, with a photograph of Tony Antoniou as a `self-taught techno
whiz'. I quote:

  "When Tony was 14 he landed a part-time job as a sales assistant in
a Lewisham Electronics company where his `techno-wise' reputation grew
rapidly..."

  And here comes the really good part:

"In a few weeks I had learned how to repair TVs, VCRs, refrigerators,
and other household items," he said. 

  ROFL! A 14-year-old kid learns all about service in a fortnight!

  "I guess I was born with a mind for electronics..."

  There was a lot of other funny stuff in the article, but that was
the bit that made me fall off the chair and pee in my pants.

  Is this *your* Tony Antoniou?

Regards,
Bob
