Jim is Features Editor of PC Advisor and has been reviewing PC hardware and software since web pages played annoying MIDI music. An unashamed geek, Jim freely admits that he owns too many gadgets. A recent convert to Apple, Jim is rarely seen without his iPhone, but he stopped short of ditching Windows 7 for Mac OS. When not writing about the latest technological marvel, Jim can be found attempting to brew his own beer in his garden shed or watching action movies at unhealthy volumes.
