About

Previous owner of Commodore VIC20, Acorn BBC Model B, Acorn BBC Master 128, Acorn Archimedes A310, Acorn Risc PC 600.

Favourite retro machines I would love to own again: VIC 20, BBC Master 128 with VideoNULA and RPi Co-pro.

Current owner of Raspberry Pi 1 (runs RISC OS), Pi 3 (Python projects). Pi Zero W, for internet radio retrofit project: https://github.com/therobyouknow/internetradioretrofit

I enjoy making software and applying technology to help myself and friends and family achieve things as well as earning a living doing it.
