A LAUNCESTON man has been nominated for a hero award in a magazine.

Computeractive Magazine has launched its first ever 'Home Computing Heroes Awards' to celebrate everyday people up and down the country, who have made a massive difference to other people's lives through technology.

Whether it is helping others get to grips with their hardware, or helping them install their software, there are a number of individuals who have gone above and beyond the call of duty to serve their communities with their IT expertise.

To recognise their selfless and consistent technology work, the team at Computeractive Magazine felt it was high time to honour these local heroes with an award!
