I don't subscribe to very many streaming services. Right now it's just Apple (Severance!!) and Acorn. There are a lot of great police murder mysteries on Acorn I really like. Currently watching the extensive library of Midsomer Murders with my husband. In addition I recently finished The Gone set in New Zealand, I really liked it (where is season 2??). Currently watching A Remarkable Place to Die set in Australia. I'd love recommendations for other good shows on Acorn. #Acorn #TV #Mysteries

Extending one's retro computer collection is not planable at all as some rare hardware only turns up for sale once or twice a year. I was lucky to get my hands on my first Acorn machine - an extended A3000 - and spent some time learning about it as it is so different to all my other stuff. I started off my exploration by removing battery and acid and tried to get a picture out of it - that worked after several attempts. But I have it more or less running by now I guess!

Here it is: BBC Landmarks Second World War, by Longman Logotron. Unpreserved, as far as I can tell, and not listed in any Archimedes software databases - though it does have an associated ISBN which comes up in book catalogues.

Also pictured: Numero 62 (complete), likewise unpreserved, and Archimedes Magpie (disk only).

Once I've got a bit of free time over Christmas, I'll get the disks imaged and the manuals scanned.
