Hi, I live in Victoria, Australia not far from a city that is notorious for having 4 seasons in one day.

My introduction to settlers was on the Amiga with S1, and I spent many happy hours playing.

When I eventually bought my pc, I looked around for S3, but due to an importer going bust, it was not available.

My luck really, as S4 was released shortly after I started my search.

I have since bought both S2 and S3 though, but can't get the same satisfaction from playing them.

I try to help out with Settlers related queries on several forums, thereby sharing my knowledge.

My other interests are my family; (4 children, 2 grandchildren); gardening, playing badminton and computer games eg. solitaire, scrabble, and many others.

My interest in computers began when my son first bought his Amiga. I decided that I needed to know more about them, so I went to a TAFE College to further my education, as a mature aged student, and ended up with a qualification in Business and Secretarial Studies and also completed the first year of an Accountancy course - my fascination with spreadsheets brought this about.
