    Writing up this month's Hobby Tech column for Custom PC Magazine, and I've realised I'm six months out of having been writing it every single month for ten years. Blimey.

    I kinda want to do something once we hit #120 to mark the occasion, but I'm not sure what. Any ideas?

    (Obviously I'mma have to run whatever past Ben first!)

    Top 10 things you've written about over the past decade? 1 from each year maybe?
    You could also maybe mini-re-review them to see how things have changed?

    I'm wondering if you can somehow fit an item of your fashion from each year into it.

    Mind you if your like me half of my stuff could very well be the same clobber I had on ten years ago.

    Edit: yes, I know not a very useful suggestion but in my defence the term 'useful' was not specified

    Perhaps the most en vogue thing you could do would be to have AI write a commemorative article for you :lol:

    In all seriousness, I like the "highlights" idea too. Nice going btw.

    10 years is a long time in tech world. It would be good to see how the hobbyist tech world have changed over that period.

    Time flies when you're eating buns.

    Isn't the only constant with those that the expensive ones usually minging [I remember Duchy Originals' ones never scoring well]

    D'you know, in all the years I've been writing for Custom PC - between the features and reviews, Mobile Tech Watch, the news, and most recently Hobby Tech - I've never been invited to participate in the annual mince pie test? Swizz.
