Steve Reid - former flatmate, former Reviews Editor of PC Pro and much more

PC Pros

Brian Heywood - Real World Computing Multimedia contributing editor

James Morris - Editor, propellor-head and video fiend
David Tebbutt - contributor and creator of Brainstorm
Dick Pountain - RWC Editor, Honda Silver Wing rider, and selfless experimenter in the field of "subjective ethnopharmacological bioassay." I wish I'd though of that. (Watch the picture closely...)
