ChinnyVision arrives in podcast form. So less”Vision” and more ”Audio”. This irregular podcast aims to speak to users about their experiences and computer collections.The aim is document the experiences of the day to day users and their collections from buying budget games in the newsagents to repairing VIC 20‘s in the 21st century. Don‘t expect lots of big names or coders.It‘s people like you sharing their experiences in this remarkably low octane podcast where people remember when ‘it was all fields around here‘.

Tim Drew, often known as Sanxion, is a collector of computers and consoles and co-host of the Pixel Gaiden podcast. He was working at a computer shop before he left school and ended up not only in charge of ordering software from wholesalers but working for a distributor and running his own computer shop.
We talk about his computer ownership history, his collection and how he ended up being head hunted by two senior employees of Centresoft who were setting up their own distribution network.
