Still only two
What the hell is going on? Rumours abound they're out of games and nunchuks already. Woman next to me quite irate. Much talk of pre-orders gone by. Much slagging off of Game.
Why are we waiting?
We moved sideways to let a lorry through. Driver quipped that he had Wiis to deliver. Ha. Stop Press! First person out with one!
No moving
Still 30th here… And now I see 30 or more inside. Lots of 20-somethings, some kids with mums, a few young women on their own. A mix, really.

It’s been stuck up in the attic, unused for the last 6 or 7 years, and I wasn’t sure it was even going to work. The plan was to get the information off the hard drive using either a …
Virtually Indestructible Keyboard
Or so it says. We’ve just bought some small footprint keyboards at work for use where the current small footprint keyboards keep being broken. You know, keys snapped off, that sort of thing. So this is one of the keyboards we’re trialling. I mean, it even says “Virtually Indestructible” on it, so it must be pretty sturdy, yes? And it bends! Sadly, it’s crap. The rubber holding the “keys” on is about half a micron thick, and you can easily …
