I joined my first accountancy firm in 1990 – I’d never sent an e mail or text at that point – extraordinary progress made, particularly in the last 5 years.

A “multi user” system (one central CPU/data storage) with connected terminals (by wire) was tens of thousands of pounds! Printers were huge and the software for Payroll, Nominal, Sales Ledger, Purchase, Stock, etc etc was all written in BASIC! In 2017 we can do all that remotely on a tablet accessing Xero for a few pounds a month. Never had it so good!
