Interview with Colin Mitchell from Talking Electronics

Hi All Long time no visit. Just letting you know that I've finally got around to uploading the first part of my interview with Colin Mitchell from Talking Electronics magazine fame when I met up with him at his home in Sept last year. He was kind enough to spend several hours talking about the history of the magazine and various others things. There were no set questions, it was just a chat about whatever came up. Several more parts to come in due course.

Great interview! Colin was a bit vague on AEM (Australian Electronics Monthly), though. AEM was started by Roger Harrison and David Tilbrook as a result of the bullshit that was going on at Federal Publishing Co. at the time. FPC had bought ETI from ACP (Packer) and the editorial offices were moved from Rushcutters Bay to Waterloo. FPC then bought Electronics Australia and moved it to Waterloo. It was obvious that some sort of merger was inevitable, so Roger and David made plans for AEM and left ETI, taking draughtsman David Currie and some of the old ETI contributors as well.

Colin mentioned something about a man and his son - Roger had two sons and at least one of them (Jamye) did write for AEM.

That was fantastic and its great to finally "meet" the guy behind TE.

I would say that his mags were an enormous help and inspiration at the time.
