THIS... IS... Your semi-regular reminder to go check your retro collection, or just older computers, to make sure their batteries are removed. Not just laptops calculators PDAs and spare phone power batteries, but clock batteries of all kinds. They do leak, and can let go suddenly.

That time again - do you have any data stored on your devices that's important to you? Do you have it backed up? Multiple times? Regularly? Have you checked that your backups are actually happening? Have you checked that you can restore from them?

Despite the 3.5" Magneto-Optical format's many advantages - A much larger, more reliable and resilient storage, bright backlight, and a high-resolution active matrix colour screen - it still failed to make inroads against sales of the older ubiquitous greyscale 3.5" floppy disk.

Same picture. Same bullshit.

A report card from year 10. It reads in part: English, Grade A, Dana is a very able and talented student who does not always give of her best. This failure to invest much energy in her English prevents her from achieving her full potential although this is not the say that this work is of an inferior standard. Also, Mathematics (Advanced), Grade A, Dana is a keen student but her work lacks discipline. She has a lot of ability but this needs further development.
