You had a teacher for O-level computer studies?  Hard luck!  A friend 
and I studied it on our own.  This may have been why we did so well (I 
got an A and he a B).  Or maybe it was luck.  Most candidates were about 
3 generations of technology ahead of the examiners, so grades were 
pretty random, I think...
