After a 20 year career in travel tourism and leisure management, our proprietor, Graham, needed to change focus to concentrate on caring for his ill father and at that time started assisting friends and others with their computers and tech.
Graham had grown up with all sorts of devices coming home to be explored including Sinclair ZX 80 computers and more, which his Dad took apart and reconstructed to help him with his career as a manual writer for defence equipment.
The first family computer was a 48K Oric-1 in 1983, upgrading over the years to DEC and Amstrad word processors and computers, Graham studied on a Commodore PET at school whilst obtaining an unusual CEE qualification in Technology and the family bought their first Windows 3.1 computer in the early 1990's. Friends and others had their Apple computers, but Graham was most interested in the Windows OS from Microsoft that allowed multiple tasks to be done in Windows on a single screen. Over the years his knowledge and expertise increased navigating Windows 3.11 for Work Groups, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me (for the Millennium), which, contrary to popular thinking, really showed the future with its simplicity, usability and drivers that downloaded as required; a little ahead of its time because the internet and internal processors and memory were slow, making the system unstable.
In modern times Graham upgraded through Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1 (Windows 9?), Windows 10 and now Windows 11, contributing to the Microsoft Tech community as a Windows Insider and assisting with the development of Microsoft Edge browser and Windows 11. His claim to fame is receiving acknowledgement from Microsoft about sharing user experiences from older people (which is important because most designers are under 30) and a successful campaign was to get the text put back under some of the buttons in Windows 11 to help those who "read" the screen rather than identify iconography,
You can sometimes find Graham DJing in Bournemouth and presenting music to younger crowds on his Mixcloud too.
