Thunderbirds Are Back!

Because I don't pay as much attention as I should to TV news, I only learned today that a new series of Thunderbirds episodes launches on Saturday evening on Britain's ITV. It's CGI animated, of course, not puppets like the original, but the sole review I've seen suggests that it might be worth watching. First series will be 26 half-hour episodes with a second series already confirmed. Cast looks much the same as in the original, as do the vehicles, except that it looks like FAB 1 can fly, and that there is at least one new action-orientated female character.

Annoyingly I'm away from home on Saturday, at Eastercon, and may not get to watch it for a couple of days. Really must remember to set up the recorder...

iMac Update

iMac is up to 2gb and working well, speakers have arrived and work. I need to tweak the DVD drive since it occasionally refuses to open - I think it may just need a bit of graphite on the rails - but that's going to have to wait until after Eastercon. Once that's sorted I can put some paste on the heat sink connections and close the case up properly, and start looking at selling it. It doesn't have a real Apple mouse of the right period due to silly prices, just a nice white Logitech one, but everything else is looking very last-decade Apple, so hopefully it'll get a reasonable price with the extra hard disk space and RAM.
