Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11-4-2026 — The Apple 1

11th April, 2026: the Apple 1.

Right, then: it’s officially official.

I’ve seen another episode of The Daleks’ Master Plan.

And I’m greatly saddened: that so many episodes of the thing are missing.

As wonderful as the remaining episodes are … ?

I’m very aware there’s huge gaps.

And dearly wishing Aunty would release the thing as an animated bluray!

I’d buy one!

~≈📀≈~

In other news … ?

The Artemis 2 mission has safely returned to Earth: with a crew that’s described as “happy and healthy”.

Good for them!

At this stage, the only minor concern is, I’m told, the heat sheilds: although they seemed to have worked, and worked well.

But … ?

I can still remember the Colombia Disaster, the accident that saw a space shuttle burn up on re-entry, because of a defective heat shield.

I can only hope NASA’s keeping an eye on those …

Let’s move on.


Yesterday’s Teaser saw Mum* and Debbi† putting in their answers: with both scoring five out of five.


 Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …

A4)        Surrey.   (Ockham’s Razor, the principle named for William, says the simplest explanation is usually the correct one.   A conspiracy theorist will probably blame the aliens for that …)

A5)        The Sixth Sense.

Here’s a thought …

“As relatively few Apple I computers were made before the model was discontinued, coupled with their status as Apple’s first product, surviving Apple I units are now displayed in computer museums and demand high prices at auction.”

From the Wikipedia entry on the device.

A video from the 8-Bit Guy …

And an earworm …

The next ten question sets are on 16th, 21st and 23rd April. They’re about World Voice Day, Elizabeth 2nd and León and Castile.

Your comments, and today’s answers, will be published in tomorrow’s Teaser.

AI is avoided when writing these questions.

Answers are as accurate as possible: at the time of writing.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.
