          I noticed Simon in computer active as well.

          I think I saw Mark Pickervance writing for some online tech sure. Tech report maybe.

            At first I thought Mark was a bit swollen headed but after a while I realised he really did know what he was talking about and became my firm favourite. If you can remember where you saw him I would be eternally grateful.

              A quick Google shows tech advisor so it was probably that I saw.

              https://www.techadvisor.co.uk/author/mark-pickavance/

              He also has his own site with some micro mart stuff.

              http://www.pickavance.com

              Mark was one of my favourites and at one point I remember he seemed to write nearly the whole mag for what seemed like a year when Simon was still the editor.

              Anyone know what Jason is up to now I haven’t seen his name for quite a while?

                Probably because Computer Active is a Dennis publication as was Micromart.

                Simon is listed as one of six contributors.

                      I miss that very different Pickavance humour, and his ability to start something debatable that sometimes turned into a flame war. Provocation should have been his middle name! I still check out DofG occasionally, Mr Brew remains the Geek of All Geeks.

                      Thanks Kumagoro and JayCeeDee for the links.

                      I'm out.
