Robin Nixon
UK
I have worked with and written about computers since the early 1980s (my first computer was a Tandy TRS 80 Model 1 with a massive 4KB of RAM!). During this time I have written in excess of 500 articles for many of the UK's top computer magazines and have also written several books.
I started my computing career in the Cheshire homes for disabled people, where I was responsible for setting up computer rooms in a number of residential homes, and for evaluating and tailoring hardware and software so that disabled people could use the new technology - sometimes by means of only a single switch operated by mouth or finger.
After writing articles for computer magazines about my work with disabled people, I eventually worked full time for one of the country's main IT magazine publishers, where I held several roles including editorial, promotions, and cover disc editing.
With the dawn of the Internet in the 1990s, I branched out into developing websites. One of these presented the world's first radio station licensed by the music copyright holders, and was featured in several news reports on TV and radio networks in the United Kingdom. In order to enable people to continue to surf while listening, I also developed the first known pop-up windows.
