Mac in Sydney

Hi there all
Sorry if I am not following guidelines/protocol etc re how to post. I am not too au fait with forums.
I will introduce myself to the group, however.....it is Saturday evening here in Sydney (9.40pm) so I need to be brief at the moment. ( i.e. late dinner approaches).

In brief...I am originally from England but came to Australia as a 27 year old to experience it for a year or so.
That was 47 years ago ( gulp!!)

Had 4-5 careers: IT, Management consulting, IT Merchant banking. Retired, then in my early 60's had a brain fade and started a small Internet Service Provider (ISP). That was the early days ( early 90's?). Sold that when the big players squeezed us out of the market...
Then latterly, for 5 -7 years, was an antique dealer here in Sydney. Absolutely loved it ( still do) . Learned SO, SO much ( had to). Had an old school friend in Beziers ( S. France) who started me off by sending me a 20 foot container of French antiques. I will fill in more when I have time, but I also have developed an interest in early English porcelain.....approx 1760 to 1830-1860'ish. Also, Georgian ( and maybe Victorian) furniture.
Also a bit of Japanese and Chinese porcelain , but I have weak/rudimentary knowledge of these, which I am trying to correct.
Anyway must go. Just wanted to try an introduction to you.
Cheers Mac
