Both of us are reasonable interested in technology, me (Tony) especially since I work in Information Technology and love to try and keep up to date with what is happening in the world.

Of course for financial and often other reasons we can’t keep as up to date as we would like, but that’s no excuse for not being aware of what’s out there.

Hoping you enjoy our posts on technology and the like.
