Facts about me

Hello! I am Nick Kwan, and this is my home page on the World Wide Web! Some of my interests are: Photogrpahy, Clocks, Computers, and Telephones & Telephone Equipment. That's just to name a few.

I created this home page using the VistaServ home page wizard. It makes it easy to publish a simple web page. This VistaServ page is best viewed at at least 90% magnification in Microsoft Edge.
For 2026, I'm making some changes to this page, so if you still want to go back to how things used to be, use the WayBack Machine or go here with JavaScript disabled.

Telephone Resources

Telephones to me are more than just standard household objects, in my opinion telephones are something that shows innovation, invention, and much more. If you want to get resources & information about them here are some links:

-- MCI telephone number identification tel. number: 1-800/444-4444

-- MCI 10-10 Long Distance Codes: 10-10-321, 10-10-987, 10-10-220

-- Here's a link to my site about GTE & Automatic Electric Payphones: Payphone Page

-- Here's a link to my payphone directory (Covers the U.S.A., Canada, Hong Kong, etc.): Payphone Page

-- Nick Kwan's Payphone Directory

-- Payphone Locations From Around the World

Clocks & Computers

Both clocks and computers are interesting to me. Computer-wise, I own a Nintendo Family Basic keyboard/computer for the Famicom, a '386 server with SCO OpenServer 5 (UNIX based), and an Acer Aspire Revo running Microsoft Windows 7. In my clock collection, I own a Black Forest "picture frame" style clock from the 1880's, a Butler brand "grandmother" clock from the 1960's, and a Hammond Tripoli desk clock to name a few.

Dad's Section

Hello! I am Pierre Kwan, father of Nick Kwan and this is my for-now small section of Nick's Homepage. I am a water engineer, and may soon have my own website, either hosted here on VistaServ or on Wix or Ichi (links provided below). The link to my future homepage will be posted here: http://kwan-nick.neocities.org/~pierre/index.htm

Links

• HTML Tutorial at W3C. Perhaps you'd be interested in learning more about HTML & CSS, here's a good place to find information and more about both computer languages.
• freeimage.host or Imgur could be useful – both are image hosting services. You can use services like them if you want to be able to upload your own pictures to use on your home page. Upload your image, then when it's uploaded, right-click your image and click "copy image address". You can use it in a <img> tag to embed it.
