TEENAGER DAVID BOLTON has just put £9,000 in the bank – after only six months of part-time work as computer consultant. The electronics expert from Croydon, Sounth London, is establishing a reputation as one of the country’s top troubleshooters – the person to call if no one else can cope. For David, 15, his first steps to fame and fortune began when he was only nine, when his parents bought him a computer, a ZX-90. “I soon learned to program it. I needed something bigger, so I had to save for ages to buy an Amstrad.” It was only about a year ago, however, that he decided to get serious about computing. He went to night school to learn how to write business programs, and did a correspondence course with an American college. He got in touch with a computer saller, Etlec, who were so impressed they gave him computers and software worth more than £3,000. In return, he has to send them a monthly report saying what he has done and what his plans are. He helps companies by suggesting which computers they should buy, and by writing individual programs for them. He can work more quickly than many older professionals. In one case, he went to a company where a professional programmer worked for six months and couldn’t find the problem. David finished the job in five days. It is because of work of this standard that in the short period he has been in business David has made about £9,000. With it he has bought more equipment. How did he do it? “You have to be ambitious, and you have to really want to get to the top. Believe in yourself, and tell yourself that you’re the best.”

Мне нужно что-то больше, так что мне пришлось сохранить на века, чтобы купить Amstrad.” Это было только около года назад, однако, что он решил серьезно подойти к вычислений. Он пошел в вечернюю школу, чтобы научиться писать программы для бизнеса, а не заочно с американским колледжем. Он связался с компьютером saller, Etlec, которые были настолько впечатлены, они дали ему компьютеров и программного обеспечения на сумму более £3000 человек. В ответ, он должен отправить их ежемесячный отчет, в котором говорится, что он сделал, и то, что его планы.

Это потому, что работы этого стандарта, что за короткий период времени он был в бизнесе Давид составил около £9,000. При этом он купил больше оборудования.

Highway to the Andes
“You‟re going to DRIVE to Merida? But it‟s so far – it will be horrible”. This is what my friends said when I told them I wanted to go to Merida by car.
The Venezuelans love to take planes. Domestic flights are reliable and cheapand there are lots of them. So people thought it a little strange that I wanted to hire a car and drive, what is only 700 kilometres, to the Andean city of Merida.
But the journey wasn‟t horrible at all. The roads were in good condition, there was motorway for part of the way and regular petrol stations (where petrol cost lessthan water).
There was even a roadside self-service restaurant between Caracas and Valencia.
I drove out of Caracas, and its mixture of modern skyscrapers and old, poor housing, on a mountainous highway. At first the scenery was Caribbean: bananas, small villages, coconut trees.
When you reach Valencia, orange trees mix with sugar-cane. A little further on, past Acarigua, the country changes into the llanos or plains. This is real cowboy country, with huge isolated farms and occasional roadside ovens where you can buy roast beef by the kilo. Everyone agrees that the last four hours to Merida are the best, so it‟s a good idea to spend the night in Barinas and drive the remaining 250 kilometres in the morning. An hour or so out of Barinas and the Andes seem to appear suddenly around the corner. From then on, it‟s an exciting climb up to 3,000 metres and the Venezuelan paramo.
The paramo is the cold, windy mountain range. Although there are no trees in these mountains, there are lots of plants and flowers. At 3,600 metres you notice that the air is getting thinner. After a strong cup of Venezuelan coffee at the village of Apartaderos, my heart seemed to beat much faster than usual.
My car didn‟t like the thin air and slowed down. I didn‟mind – this gave me time to look at the mountains. Locally,”crossing the paramo” means dying, and the car seemed to know this.
The scenery on the way down into Merida is spectacular. Some of it is Andean with its low, stone villages and potato fields and some is Alpine with its rivers full of fish, and inviting hotels. Merida itself is a pleasant town. It has three claims to fame: the University of the Andes, the world‟s highest cable-car – to the snowy 4,800-metre Pico Bolivar – and an ice cream shop with the world‟s biggest number of flavours (400), including garlic and spaghetti bolognese. But this wasn‟t why I had come.
