Hello from a Newbie! :-)

Hi, everyone.
I joined yesterday and am now saying hello. My name is Carl Stock, 26, and I have two Philips CD-i players – 210 and 220. I’m in the East of England, UK.
My favourite game so far on CD-i is Lemmings. Then again, that’s just about my favourite game on any platform! When I come across a retro machine, Lemmings is a major purchase for it!
In all seriousness, I remember seeing a CD-i in the early 1990s, and I very nearly purchased in 1994/95. However, due to ill-health (my condition, M.E./CFS, which I still have), I wasn’t able to go through with it. Finding a player on eBay was great – one of my first eBay purchases!
I like the CD-i because it is so different. I tended to favour computers in the 1980s and early 1990s that were based around education primarily, as I have an interest in becoming an ICT and Computing teacher if my condition is cured.
Anyway, I like retro gaming and computing, as well as new PCs and Macs, as well as AV-related equipment.
Please bear with me at times because due to my condition I may at times seem a bit slow and make some hideous errors. Also, as a consequence of my condition, I may ‘disappear’ for weeks or months on end, seemingly ‘gone’. I won’t be going anywhere – it’s just that I can’t always use the computer.
I’ll leave it there for now. Thanks for reading.
Regards,
Carl
