ROUND-UP: SPREAD IT

It's never dignified to blow one's own trumpet - least of all if you're a trumpeter (that's no way to make a living) - but I honestly believe the past couple of weeks have been some of our best ever here on Digitiser2000.

Currently, Digi2000 is just about fitting in around my day job/life, and I'm working hard to try and bring you the best/most stupid site possible.

If you'd like to support what we're doing by purchasing one of our lovely t-shirts, don't forget that they come in a variety of retro-Digitiser designs, and all orders come with a free sticker while stocks last - plus some unique artwork on the packaging.

If you already have enough clothes, you can always support the site by donating via PayPal or Patreon. Just click on the relevant links in the side bar, or at the bottom of this page. There will be benefits. We clearly don't feature ads on here, and we're not a YouTube sensation, so it all goes to fund us/buy us the gin we so desperately crave.

Failing that, and I know I say it a lot, but sharing is caring, and it helps hugely if you can spread the word. Our stats have been very healthy this past week or so, and that's only because so many of you have been so ruddy kind in spreading for us. Do you see? Mm?

If you missed it, here's an interview with me on the Retro Hour podcast - or read on for a run-down of everything you might've not have noticed over the past couple of weeks. 

​Yours sincerely, 

BIFFO x
