THE CAMPAIGN -

If you live in Aylesbury and surrounding area you will have noticed some rather striking advertisements around town and in your homes - the unique characteristics of which are represented on this mini-site.  Our message is simple:

ACTIVE TECHNOLOGY MAKE BUSINESS COMPUTERS TALK YOUR LANGUAGE.

We're also on the radio - Mix 96 will be broadcasting our advertisements throughout the year, including some time checks and some amusing renditions of the Computer Cowboy and the Professional.  Listen to a sample radio ad.

THE CHAMPAGNE!

Many so-called computer experts hide behind techno-babble, gibberish or old fashioned bull****.  As part of our campaign to bring plain English to the computer world, we're are asking companies to supply their best examples of gobbledegook.  Brochures, quotes and manuals are all great hunting grounds.  Our competition for best gobbledegook has now closed and we gave 3 bottles of Champagne in 3 award categories, click to read the winning entries.

We're still excited to hear what other gibberish is out there in the computer world so why not fill out the form below - let's rid the Business computing world of techno-babble as we aim to speak to you in terms you understand!

If you haven't done so already, why not check out the Gobbledegook Press release. For all those other hard-to-fathom computer terms, we have a new jargon buster > The JargonJuxta! Read about our 10th Year in Business celebrations and Gobbledegook Awards.
