The times they are a …..

Had a discussion about broadband, fibre (of the optics variety, not the food type) and the stances of each side of Government this morning. Nothing new or unusual for me you say? Except that I had this discussion with, of all people, the District Nurse who was on a visit. And she was the one

Classic colour

Where’s all the colour gone Apple? Came across this interesting article in the Metroplolis Magazine (a design mag) focused on the use of colour in Apples computers. I had one of the first Macs they talk about so it was a nostalgia trip for me (and a nice one now I’m trapped in WindowsLand due
