Matt Lee is an open source Guru and runs Libre.FM. He also made a movie with a monkey in it (far fetched) that we don't mention. But back in the day he had an Amstrad CPC and had his first online experience on it. He also bought software in the utterly bonkers Trago Mills.

Tim Drew, often known as Sanxion, is a collector of computers and consoles and co-host of the Pixel Gaiden podcast. He was working at a computer shop before he left school and ended up not only in charge of ordering software from wholesalers but working for a distributor and running his own computer shop.   We talk about his computer ownership history, his collection and how he ended up being head hunted by two senior employees of Centresoft who were setting up their own distribution network.   Tim on Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/sanxion.bsky.social   Pixel Gaiden - https://pixelgaiden.podbean.com/   Support ChinnyVision podcast on Kofi - Ko-fi.com/chinnyvision   The ChinnyVision Youtube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCifcRlP9KST8T0irCHyykrA   ChinnyVision 2 - The shoddy sister channel of ChinnyVision: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt7diaJaYCyeHV16AGvCdxw   ChinnyVision Website - http://www.chinnyvision.com   ChinnyVision on BlueSky - https://bsky.app/profile/chinnyvision.bsky.social
