If I had read this yesterday I wouldn’t have believed it. Apple are to offer the entire EMI catalogue on iTunes DRM-free!

We’ve either upgraded and not thrown out the old unit (you’ll never know it it will come in handy) or like me you just can’t resist having multiple computers in your home. Too often it is true that the old machines are never… Read More »Preserving the Techno-past
It’s only a wet day (well a snowy one anyway) since I changed the look of my blog template. Doing that however, made the other residue on my site look like a heap of crap. So, I then changed the rest of the site pages to something more pleasing. I then decided that having the… Read More »Another Facelift!
I’ve decided to take a little break from work for the next two weeks and to try and stay away from my computers as much as I can. Not going anywhere, just trying to relax.
