I am completely new to blogging, so be charitable to me if I blunder about a bit learning how to do this.

I am John Byde and have been using Vivaldi browser for several years, so that is how I came to be here. My computer system is Linux Mint 18.3 following my divorce from Windows 7 because of a persistent virus problem. I am 77 years old and live on my own in a rambling stone cottage on a mountainside within view of Snowdon. I had a conventional British “classical” (ie Latin and Greek) education at a public school in London, then a theology degree at Oxford. Such IT skills as I possess are entirely self taught.

That’s all for today!
