Having spent the best part of 40 years looking through a viewfinder of a stills or video camera, sitting in front of a computer editing photos or videos, producing websites and managing content and social media accounts for organisations or individuals, it’s a very strange feeling to now say “I’m retired".

Despite no longer taking on commercial paid work, it’s virtually impossible to suddenly stop what you’ve been doing for the best part of your working life so, for the past few years I’ve been taking on work on a ‘pro-bono’ basis for church, charity or voluntary organisations. I hope that my experience, skills and equipment can now be put to good use by those who perhaps, don’t have the budget or funding to produce what they want or need for their media requirements.

Well done Microsoft!

Well done Microsoft.....You've made it virtually impossible for a senior citizen with limited ability, who does not have a mobile (cell) phone, to use Windows 11. They've been quite capable using XP, Windows 7 and Windows 10 on a laptop, until forced to buy a new laptop with Windows 11 as Windows 10 was deprecated. I spent the best part of 2 hours re-setting PIN numbers and a Microsoft account on a new Windows 11 laptop for them, after they totally locked themselves out with 5 failed attempts to login. Even I struggled with your 'match the shadow' feature, finally managing to match 6 shadows! I totally understand the increase in security features, but try explaining that to an octogenarian who, up to now has managed succesfully to use Windows and who now has virtually given up all hope of using a laptop again.
