You’d think that if the BBC is just going to cut and paste from a Wikipedia article about young Jeremy Corbyn they would at least remove the referencing numbers…

The splendid Olimpia Splendid
Having spent nigh on 50 years listening to music I still struggle to define just what it is that appeals and satisfies. Whatever it is Olimpia Splendid ooze it from every pore.
Fearlessly rejecting the sensible walking shoes and the map clearly showing the well worn route with robust fences to keep them safe; they stand, bare footed, with their toes dangling over the edge of the cliff. At any time they may tumble over the edge or the cliff may crumble beneath them (and if one goes they all go) but they hold their nerve deftly dancing their bold dance. As palm sweatingly exciting as anything I have heard in a long time. Splendid indeed.
Pro Video Formats perpetual App Store updates
If the Mac’s App Store has been insisting you constantly need to update the Pro Video Formats to version 2.0.1…
Try using the standalone installer which may convince the App Store that you do not need further updates…
Yosemite on a 2007 iMac
One star reviews in the App Stores are a constant source of fascination and the release of OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) has provided rich pickings. Of course it is frustrating when things are not working properly but many reviewers seem to imagine that the problems they experience with their computers are universal and affecting everyone – there would be rioting in the streets if that were the case. Some even seem to suggest that positive reviews are some form of Apple inspired conspiracy…
The reviewers share their homilies so the rest of us can benefit from their wisdom and insights. One common theme is that Yosemite should never be installed on an older computer as it will be unbearably slow…
I write this on a 2007 iMac with a 2GHz Core 2 Duo processor which is the oldest Mac that is able to run Yosemite. It is used and abused on a daily basis. The update to Yosemite was going to be the excuse to clear it out, reformat the drive and have a fresh clean install but I chickened out as it would be too much hassle to set everything up again and so Yosemite was just slapped on top of everything else…
Over 40000 emails (I did not notice the palindromic number when I took the screen shot)…
Over 1000 apps in the Applications folder…
A couple of hundred bits and pieces installed with Homebrew and a menu bar full of stuff half of which I have forgotten what they do…
Not to mention half a dozen terabytes of external storage hanging off the back.
So how does Yosemite run on this aged, under powered, over loaded wreck? Splendidly…
A couple of minutes worth of Activity Monitor monitoring the activity (that is what it does best) recorded with Screen Flow – so they both occupy high ratings but nothing too taxing.
Thankfully some reviewers manage to figure out that their frustrations are fixable…
Whilst others plant their tongue firmly in their cheek…
