Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 23-6-2019: Sonic The Hedgehog

23rd June, 2019.

You know, I has very little in the way of cash, at the moment.

Very little.

So, when I spend some?

I expect the goods to work, to be of the best quality for the price … and to turn up on time.

I was due a pair of jogging bottoms, yesterday.

By 8.

Did they turn up?

Did they, heck … !

~≈§≈~

One thing I did hear, yesterday?

Was an article on the Today programme, that introduced us to a champ called Andrew Ashe.

Mr Ashe’s company has won a prestigious prize for for a tablet, running open source software, that kids with little computer literacy could play with.

And learn with.

As I understood it from that piece?

They went with the open source, independent, operating system: as they didn’t want those kids habits being tracked by the likes of Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and whoever else.

Good for them!

†        Interesting read, there, as ever, Debbi!   It still tickles me!   After all, how hard can it be to get these things right?

‡        It sounds like it was a busy one, Anne!   The mind boggles!   😃
