Welcome to the

P C Arnold Technical Services

web site.


This site is designed (not very well), and maintained (not very often), by me, Patrick Arnold. I have made a number of minor changes, corrected spelling errors, experimented with exciting new colours, and so on, in this update, and added a new section. In addition, I removed the sparkly background on this page, reverting to the original boring black. The SiC crystal image, while pretty, got to be a bit much after a while. However, as a special treat for those of you who couldn't get enough of it, you can still see it here. I just won't inflict it on everyone else any longer!

This site does not need frame-capable browsers, Netscape, etc., because there are many machines in the world other than PCs (which are, after all, lowest-common-denominator machines), something that a lot of people seem to forget! It also is not heavy on graphics, because a significant portion of the world connects to the Internet via modems, and pays for it. Call it striking a blow for moderation of bandwidth in net usage.


There have been Turn on image loading for counter access requests to this site since it started.
