I recall having seen some SN74xx number plates ...
Too young to recall any CD4xxx's though...

There may also have been a Z80 plate too ...

The number is more or less irrelevant, it's the message below it that's funny.

On my way home last night I finally got to see what store will be going in the now empty Fresh Choice vege store on Rangitikei St in Palmerston North - PB Tech!

 

I am really excited about this.  I knew they were looking at opening a new store somewhere, and I was hoping it would come to Palmy.  We have only a few boutique-style PC repair places around here but very little computer/electronic gadgets type places other than the normal big box places like Harvey Norman and Noel Leeming.  Jaycar is fine for some hobbyists components, but I'm genuinely happy that we will have a PB Tech here (at the end of my street, as well).  I enjoy browising and seeing things before I buy them, so while online shopping is fine it's also nice to have a place where we can go and buy things directly.

My latest UHD Blu-ray acquisition. Without a doubt the greatest Marvel movie of all time and one of the best films George Lucas was involved with.

My SO just called - she needed to talk about weekend arrangements, needed to check diary on phone, checks handbag and starts saying over her phone "OMG - I can't find it - I've left my phone somewhere".

Heh, I've done that myself :)

 

I often lose things in my handbag as well!

Someone with kids who owns a Freelander probably needs a good sense of humour - something to keep spirits up when trips to the beach turn into 3 hour waits for tow trucks.

Yeah this going to be super dangerous for my wallet especially when you have an account with them!

Receiving, listening to, dictating a reply and sending Messages via Siri on CarPlay - a small thing maybe but still find it cool.





Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

My wife only responds in emojis to my texts. I always get a chuckle when Siri dictates via CarPlay.

 

"Mrs Senecio sent a thumbs up emoji"

 

All in spoken text.

That it has been 8 years today since I had "Locked In Syndrome" and was resuscitated while alive!

 

(And I'm still here to celebrate "I'm Still Alive Day"!)
