  1. In 1980, I left Further Education and entered Lander Alarms in Glasgow as their training officer.  A couple of years later the Mighty Micro appeared and the first successful cpu based panel was the Micro Nine made, in house, by the workshop at Polmadie.  Soon after, the Galaxy500 was born, based on the CPA6 design.  The guy behind the panel's concept was my line manager Jim Green.  The guy who helped develop the software and test it on site then train the engineers was yours truly.  I travelled all over the country demonstrating the new concept of programmability but only with the forerunner to the Galaxy, the Micro Nine.

    Eventually I taught the alarm course in Paisley's Reid Kerr College at the start of SITO's NVQ/SVQ.

    Hope this helps with the history of the trade.  Now Power over IP is my interest and configuring routers.

    Sinclair's first home computer was launched at the same time as the Micro Nine.  Now we have more than enough keeping up with these students and others who programme viruses.

    Linux is the answer to that lot and guess what?  It's FREE!

    cheers
