Winner of Time Magazine "Person of the Year" 2006 and will never get tired of that joke.
I talk about #retrocomputing a lot. I also do a lot of #gardening and occasionally make #bread and #beer. I have been a Unix #sysadmin for about 30 years but I think I'll be OK.
I live in #Melbourne, #Australia and sometimes tell jokes on stages around here. I co-host a #StarTrek podcast with @ThePingMachine
If you ever find a Tango remote control in a box somewhere, you are legally required to report it to me.

Random note if anybody else has one of these - it's marked as using a 17V DC input, but this one came with a generic 12V 2.5A wall wart and that works fine, apparently.
Maybe it'd be more demanding if the volume was cranked right up and processing video as well?
Oh, and here's a review of it from 2007:

I can't test the *S-video out*(!) though as I don't have a working video iPod right now but that's a hell of a feature to have around!

Yes, that Tim account is a bot.
