here has been sourced from various websites, books & magazines. There are
many reasons for my compiling these pages, apart from the fact that I have a
keen interest in these areas I also like to keep myself up to date with the
on-going developments as well as learning about the history and how it has led
up to what we have today. As this is such a huge field I have tried to only
include info I think interesting, relevant or helpful, not only to myself but
other interested in the same subjects.
