It was amazing just how few people in my college class were already into programming or even had a computer at home, so I quickly hooked up with the one guy who seemed as enthusiastic about it all as me and it turned out that he owned one of the very early Atari 1040STF's (with single sided drive) that he'd bought to play with the new GFA Basic.

I didn't do too well on most of my other exams but I passed the 4 computer modules and so in 1987 was able to get a place on a 3 year computer course at college. It was around that time my parents gave me the "Computer Hacker" mug (see pic) for my birthday, maybe that was inspiration for what was to come later! Playing with computer code was about all I was good at or interested in so after a personal meeting with the headmaster I was allowed to sit 4 college level computer modules (including a programming project), on my own, over 1985/86.

Luckily my school did have a room full of BBC micros but there was no programming teacher or any sort of computer qualifications on offer. Even at that time in the early 80's I think I'd already decided that I'd rather spend the day in a room full of computers than a room full of people, haha :) It all started with a ZX81 in 1981 and when I got a BBC micro a few years later I'd really become quite obsessed by all this new technology and just being around it and using it. What was your first encounter with the Atari ST and the reason you bought it? If you're at all interested in the Atari demo scene you can purchase his books from the Shop section on his website. Thanks must go to Marco Breddin from for his "Borders" book trilogy that inspired this interview and provided the nostalgia trip that kept Zippy adding to it for the last 2 years. Zippy was responsible for creating more than 100 compilation disks (known as "menus" on the Atari ST). Zippy was one of the most high-profile crackers on the Atari ST scene as a member of the Medway Boys and later Cynix.
