Technology journalist and academic Aleks Krotoski would present.

Mark Opzoomer
He married Rosemary Leith, later a founding director of the World Wide Web Foundation; the couple had three children, after which she left the financial sector, co-founding a start-up during the dot-com bubble. "Management Today" described her webzine (as it was called then) as "the first web site devoted entirely to those women struggling to strike a healthy balance between work and home life". Opzoomer, then working for Talkcast, is credited with offering valuable advice. Leith is now married to Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the world-wide web.
