Missed this over the weekend. David Potter, the man behind Psion Computers has died.
When the university computers were crap, I thought "Sod this, I'll use my Series 3 organiser to write my dissertation". And I did. Bloody minded Brummie and all that 😀
Wonderful hardware and software. No bloat, ran for hours on 2 AA batteries and no ads, pop ups or garbage that we have online these days.
Rest in peace David. Psion products were the gateway for so many of us into the world of tech. Thank you, Sir.
