Dave's story: finding memories

Dave Lockyer MBE is a Digital Champion via Clarion Futures. "I have been assisting at a block of retirement housing. The chap had two old unused laptops which he could no longer use but, on which there were photos stored which had sentimental value. With his permission I harvested the hard drives from these old laptops and by using a docking station, I was able to access all his photos.

As he was going through these: some of considerable age, he became very tearful: many of the photos were of his late wife.  I gave him advice regarding the purchase of a docking station of his own, so that he will have ready access to the photos in the future."
