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?

Post a Comment
I love it when someone comments. 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 grown up. 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.
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.
