    Simon, we enjoy Danny's long introductions as much as we enjoy your frequent tangents.
    And, me personally, I get a particular satisfaction out of hearing you mald over the length of time Danny's opening paragraphs and/or pages take to get through, which are inevitably made longer by you going off script.
    It's why I'm thankful the TH-cam Algorithm somehow dropped me into the Whistlerverse, about the only good thing it's ever done for me.
    And Sam, you keep doing you.

    The Dog and Bollocks is indeed a pub, you can find it at 751 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M6J 1G1, Canada. Actually, it's The Dogs Bollocks but close. As for Proudfoot, it's a legit Native American name.
    The ZX-81 well, I still own one in my vintage collection and I bought it from Myers brand new for some insane amount but added up to way too many weeks' wages. Mind you I'm such a sucker for old I tech I have the irrigation system for my farm running on a first gen Amstrad that needs to be booted off a floppy every time you turn it on. That's not as much of an issue as some of you may think as it has now been running continuously without as much as a reboot for 6 years and has had one reboot in the last 14 (it's on a UPS BTW). That old stuff simply works much the same as Raspberry Pi does now.
    Oh, and indeed, RIP Sir Clive, one of the foundation stones of personal computing and a true pioneer who saw that computing had a future with "the masses" and not just as a big business tool.

    China actually has very strict Copyright laws, Draconian by some standards, the caveat is that said laws only apply to Chinese Citizens, foreign owned properties are open season. Which is why Nintendo waited until they had a firmly established and loyal Chinese subsidiary who would own the rights to all Chinese versions before they released anything there officially.

    I once owned a Sir Clive Cool Ass Tricycle™ But since I'm Dutch it was too small for me and I would get cramps if I used it for more than 5 minutes. It was also a pain to find and replace the tires.

    Yes Simon, we actually do sit around and say you don't have enough videos already, and that you don't make enough. But that's a compliment to you, I want more Simon, not less! And yes, your video output is extraordinary...
    But that doesn't mean I wouldn't want more!
