 Bob Raikes -  Meko's Principal

"one of the industry's most influential specialists" BBC

Bob Raikes is an experienced sales and marketing specialist in distribution and in the PC displays business in particular. Pursuing a keen interest in micro-computers, he joined the PC industry in 1982 at Data Efficiency. Following a spell to establish the distribution company DDL, he helped to set-up Taxan UK as the UK sales manager. From there he spent seven years with Japanese monitor and graphic board maker Eizo, initially as sales director and later as managing director of the company's UK subsidiary. He established Meko Ltd in 1994.

As well as being managing editor of Display Monitor, Bob was for several years the displays editor for The Peddie Report and a regular contributor to Computer Shopper and other titles.

Bob long ago decided that if Moore can have a law, he can have one too.

Bob's First Law, first developed in the mid-1980s, states: "Everyone that buys a computer, always buys another".

Bob's Second Law states: "Anything that increases the visual bandwidth wins in the end". This observation dates from slightly later, after years of hearing the questions: "Who needs graphics?", "Who needs colour?", "Why does anyone need more than 256 colours/a 15" screen/VGA resolution?". The law predicts that there will be a continuous development of electronic displays until they match the capabilities of human visual perception
