TNG back from the dead [if we get some decent doctors...]

Hi Everyone,

I would just like to say that I am more than willing to provide a playground 
for TNG to be tested in. Despite my age (16 years old) I think I have plenty 
to offer as a tester, including a non critical environment in which to test 
it and a variety of hardware / software.

Hope this will help,

Phil Quinney
