As a young reporter I used to have to sit in a variety of magistrate’s courts for days on end waiting for something interesting to appear. That it rarely did probably accounted for my total disillusionment with the profession but having discovered the following word for word accounts of things that have genuinely taken place [...]
Humour, Stories/InformationThose of us who feel the deepest affection and enthusiasm for the way computers have enhanced our lives can only have the utmost admiration for Bill Gates and the enormous empire he has built.
