    Congrats on 10K!! And excellent work on the Amiga. I still don't have one of those in my collection, but I probably won't be able to afford to buy one from the charity auction. 😞 I'm looking forward to the livestream. I'm confident you'll meet and exceed your target. You have some of the most generous people out there in your fanbase. I still need to do the promo vid for the C64 I'm going to be auctioning. The retrobrighting didn't go to plan (who's surprised) and I had to figure out how to recover from that. Got it fixed, though, so I should be making that video soon. Cheers, mate and don't burn yourself out. You want to be healthy enough to enjoy the fruits of your labors on the day.

    Bit of an understated celebration for reaching 10k as that's blooming impressive. Maybe at the next big milestone wear a crown, do a dance or summit?
