This series went into much more practical detail about how to use home computers for a range of purposes. Each programme looked at examples of computing in the wider world as well as at home micro applications. The BBC micro<\/a> itself was used for demonstrations and to display explanatory graphics as well as producing in-vision name superimpositions and the end credits.<\/p>\n

Presenter Ian McNaught Davis<\/a> (a self confessed ‘mainframer’ – i.e., a professional user of big computers) – was led through the practical world of the microcomputer by John Coll<\/a> and others such as Ian Trackman<\/a>. The series was more technically demanding than the first series yet attracted a bigger audience.<\/p>\n
