About Me
My family moved to Dirleton in July 2007. We’re Bernadette and Richard Fairbairn and we have a 7 year old son called Peter. We love the village, the people, the school and everything about our wonderful new home.

In addition to PC maintenance I develop software for disabled, blind and visually impaired computer users. My long term goal is to produce a cheap alternative to hugely expensive “screen reader” programs available for blind computer users. You can find out more about my software here: RWF Talking Software.

The Dirleton PC Doctor - Doctor Who?
I was trying to think of a catchy title, but I’m sure my customers will agree that its pretty appropriate - except you don’t have to wait for hours to see me :).

I’ve been working with one computer or another since 1983 and working professionally in I.T. since 1994.

In addition to PC maintenance I also provide software, typesetting and data handling services. I develop accessible software for visually impaired and blind computer users.

I’ve been repairing and installing PCs for many years now and believe in quick, effective solutions. I built my first PC in 1994 whilst working as a Technical Author at Mitsubishi Electric in Haddington. Since then I’ve performed roles in I.T. including the following:

• Training manager of Scottish division of an Oracle database training company in South East Scotland.
• Development analyst for Hamilton based information technology group.
• Software development analyst for a software, training and consultation group in Central Scotland.
• Quality Control manager and troubleshooter for mobile phone billing company in Edinburgh.
