Excerpt of article text...

Tell us a little about your background. Where did you grow up? Where did you go to school?

Though my name sounds English, I was born and grew up in France. Actually, my great-grandfather was American so my parents decided to name me after him. Perhaps it was presagious, as nowadays most of my customers are American. I left France when I finished studying electronic engineering and moved to Spain where I have resided since.

How did you get interested in computers and programming?

My first contact with programming was when I was 12. A math teacher was giving free programming classes at lunch time. I enrolled and later found out I was the youngest in the classroom. We were using Texas Instruments calculators (the TI-30 if I remember correctly). That was in 1979/1980. Later I purchased a Casio calculator and did a lot more programming. A few years later I went to Phoenix for the holidays. I saw a ZX-81 for the first time. Once back home I bought one and started to learn BASIC. It was the real start, as since then I have never stopped programming.
