Text 4
David the Teenage Tycoon
Teenager David Bolton has just put £9,000 in the bank – after only six months
of part-time work as a computer consultant. The electronics expert from Croydon,
South London, is fast 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.”
