One of many who grew up using some of the earliest mass-produced home computer systems.

In more recent times I have been a regular donor to Jamie's Computers IT Recycling Social Enterprise in Southampton and also a one-time donor to Centre for Computing History in UK, of an Acorn RiscPC.

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