Hi everybody, my name is Jonathan Erskine-Nartey. I was born in 1980 and live in London, UK. My first computer was Amstrad CPC 464 with CTM 644 Colour Monitor in 1986 - 6 years of age during that time. Here is my Computer collection so far - check out my Computer Collection Gallery to see all the photos and Computer Accessories Collection as well. You'll be very amazed with the amount of Amstrad CPC / PCW accessories that I've for my Amstrad CPC / PCW Series.
