<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
<p>In the last part I told you of my first encounter with a mainframe computer and the Algol60 language while an undergraduate student at Aberystwyth University.</p>
<p>Today I want to talk about the next stage as a postgraduate student at the University of Manchester.</p>
<p>It seems to have taken me over 6 months to prepare this episode of this series, for which I apologise. I seem to get distracted as I do my background research.</p>
