It is an interesting fact that during my tour I was never allowed access to computers radios or anything else that I might damage through curiosity or perhaps something more sinister.

I've never been much of a computer guy at least in terms of playing with computers. Actually until I was about 11 I didn't use a computer for preparing for games at all. I was playing a bit online was using the chess club mainly. Now obviously the computer is an important tool for me preparing for my games.

The trick with computers I think is to approach old and new things with the same reverence as you would like your favourite chair and not be seduced by the constant innovation otherwise you never do anything.

I've never had Internet access. Actually I have looked at things on other people's computers as a bystander. A few times in my life I've opened email accounts twice actually but it's something I don't want in my life right now.

My whole life had been designing computers I could never build.

I was a 'Duck Hunt' and 'Mario' guy and stuff like that. I was never technologically driven. I never had all the cool new toys. I was the youngest child I wasn't the only child so I wasn't spoiled as a kid. And we were on the farm so we didn't have a lot. Also with computers I'm not very good with them. I just check my email.

I use many different gadgets connected with computers I use PCs laptops and a Palm Pilot. I also use the Internet to visit websites especially within Polish-language Internet. I usually go to political discussion groups and sites - of course as I use my real name people never believe that they are chatting with me!

This is what customers pay us for - to sweat all these details so it's easy and pleasant for them to use our computers. We're supposed to be really good at this. That doesn't mean we don't listen to customers but it's hard for them to tell you what they want when they've never seen anything remotely like it.

We can do things that we never could before. Stop-motion lets you build tiny little worlds and computers make that world even more believable.

Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window.
