Yes it is. Can you spot the Mac in the background? Extra points for the model. I clearly remember gazing at the monitor, amazed by the quality.

I'm pretty sure there's my last PC in that .gif too, that was a beauty, IBM - can't remember - Dual Pentium 2 if I recall correctly, hideously expensive, noisey and doubled as a room fan, it was a server so my fault, lasted a long time.

That was the early nineties, people were seeing animated .gifs for the first time, I made that with a web camera that was pretty useless as no one else had Internet let alone a web cam, it wasn't called a web cam of course.

And I'd rather have something that sounds good, hence why I own a set of Sennheisers.

Oh, and that's what she said.

True but it's all horses for courses, I wouldn't by an iPad for its sound production in the same way I wouldn't buy a Corsa for its turn of speed.

That's hardly me, admittedly the move from 5s to 6+ was a bit rapid but it was a big move. I'm currently working and typing this on a 2010 Macbook whist watching Netflix on a 2006 iMac, my iPad 2 was over four years old and I'd still be happy with it.

This is interesting: http://www.theverge.com/2014/10/25/7069863/retailers-are-disabling-nfc-readers-to-shut-out-apple-pay

I'm not a fan of this at all because a) it also affects GW, and b) anything that restricts consumer choice is bad.

That's a bit crap. I don't think people here would go for it for a few coupons. I say it will fail and they'll allow Apple Pay within a year.
