Graeme served with the RAAF for 23 years (many overseas), in electronics, logistics and training roles. Looking for a slightly quieter (and more stationery) life, he joined NEC in January 1990, first in a broadcast sales role and then back into engineering.
In May 2009 he joined the Broadband for Seniors project team to assist with technical support.
His interest in computers started in the late 70’s when he built up the Altair 8800, the world’s first minicomputer kit (having a ‘huge’ 4kb of memory and data input via front panel switches), then moving up to the first commercially available home computer, the Commodore 64 then the C128, in 1982.
