<p style="text-align: center;">[[File:0c2cf3536cbb90cd1041f46d92bd697d.jpg|thumb|300px|Philip as seen from the intro to the OSFirstTimer show.]]He first started liking computers when he was at school one day in 2001 at the age of 7. He played Math Blaster: In Search of Spot'' ''during'' ''every maths lesson. Since he only had half an hour to finish it, he barely finished the game. In the game, there was a guy in a green spacesuit called Blasternaut with a blue floating robot friend called Spot. The ship's hyperdrive failed, leaving them stranded in space. While Spot fixed the ship, a three-eyed yellow alien in a red UFO abducted him, stopping him from fixing the ship. Then players had to answer 5 maths sums correctly to fill the tractor beam, which would give you 5 shots to shoot 5 pieces of garbage. When enough garbage was collected, you had to match up math equations to the correct answers to convert the garbage into fuel. When you collected enough fuel, you would visit the alien's home planet. Unlike earlier levels, you didn't need to type in math equations. Instead, you had to make sure the number on your belly was between the numbers on each side of the platform. If the number on your belly was greater or smaller than those on the platforms, you would be kicked out. When you reached the top of the cave, you met with the same three-eyed yellow alien in a red UFO
His exploration into operating systems began when he loved Math Blaster: In Search of Spot so much that he asked for a computer to play ''Math Blaster: In Search of Spot ''
<p style="text-align: center;">He eventually became bored with the games and since he had cured RSI, he became interested in Windows 8 development, and when it came out, he had his mum try it, alas, the OSFirstTimer channel began. The channel's main aim is for his mum to try and find replacements for Windows 8. Now, they do it for fun, as his mum now has a Windows 8 laptop to replace her old Toshiba Windows XP one. They used the (what they called the "shaky cam") method, until the Windows 95 video, where they started to use a green screen to show the operating system and Diana/Ben. On May 17, 2014, he started to make "Dad Tries Out" videos. On OSFirstTimer they also do tutorials, unboxings, and comment videos. A month later, he had also made a channel called TerrifiedMum, where his mom plays scary games.</p>
