The Personal Computer has come a long way from the Apple 1, the BBC Micro & the legendary ZX Spectrum. Were a demanding lot and now nothing less than a compact Laptop that can run a Business, Iron the washing and feed the kids to boot will do.

Computing in the Home & Office has been nothing short of a revolution in the last 10 years. Consider the fact that we no longer have to hand write letters or have a secretary skilled in touch typing & a chunky typewriter in order to converse in ink.

Nor do we need a slide rule & an A3 sheet of graph paper to sum up the next quarters projected sales.

Computers have given us so much flexibility that is taken for granted, that it’s easy to underestimate their impact over the last decade or two.

That is until we come to pay for the software that powers this Castro-esque revolution! And that’s were it all gets a bit tricky….
