Maxwell Andrews was born in Kent, England but raised in Essex with his sister, where he excelled at nothing until he left school in the late 70s and joined Marconi where he met his first love: a Commodore PET computer; he left soon after that and completed an HND course in Computing Technologies where he had a varied career in that field, which spanned over thirty years. He is now retired and lives with his wife, a cat and two dogs in the Scottish Highlands - a stone's throw away from Loch Ness and its elusive monster!
