Some very interesting stories from some of you. I'm sorry to hear that life has somewhat got in the way though.

In a strange way for me, that is what is leading back down the road of computing, having only done any formal education in it at high school 12 years ago now! I mean I still had the interest due to gaming, mostly in hardware & of course have fixed most of my problems relating to software or Windows itself over the years.

The thing that stopped me pursuing computing for further at high school was I found programming boring. I think we just did some basic stuff in Visual Basic, although it's so long ago I can barely remember. I have a feeling the real problem was that it was just too easy for me at that level & I didn't have the bug to see what it could lead to.

If I get a place on the course I'll get to do a bit of everything. Modules include... installing software/hardware. Network design/implementation & testing. Some software development & cyber security. Really hope I get a place as I'm quite excited about it now.
