I came back to the UK from Brussels in 2005 after spending 10 years working on airspace software for 10 years. Whilst out there I had become enamoured with Apple computers because they basically were Unix machines with a lovely interface and I hated Windows. Anyway I had a conversation with a friend of mine today who runs the Oxford Mac User Group (well … since …) and we were talking about web design. I pointed out to him that I had been using Rapidweaver for almost 20 years. Then I remembered a trip up to London with a fellow OxMUG member to the MacLive Expo show. I can remember the RealMac guys and especially one called Nik who pointed a big lens in my face.
