Just as a quick extra post?
I have a mild confession.
I’m like a few people I know: I get vaguely nostalgic about tech.
And I’m fond of the occasional Mac.
Including the first Mac mini I ever bought: back in 2008.
The thing was the result of earning £500, after getting a one hundred per cent score in a mystery shopper visit.
It was also the first new Mac I bought: and the thing I started writing Nik Nak's Old Peculiar on.
And the computer that ended up getting nicknamed ‘Bruce’: after the voice I chose to use.
I had a nostalgic phase, just recently: managing to get and external DVD drive, and a monitor, that I could use onhim -- it!

I had half a mind to play a few old games on it.
Unfortunatley?
Bruce is going to get a decent burial: as the main drive’s gone.
The perils of nostalgia, hey?

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
