Here's some photos of the Mirror Darkly TOS-style buttons with labels on top. Once lit up, the viewer couldn't see the labels at all.

When they were recreating the TOS sets for the ENT episodes, they found that you could stick a label underneath the buttons, which would be visible to the person sitting at the console but to anyone else. Which at least answers the "why is nothing labelled" complaint people had about TOS.

Oddly, in spite of having considerably fewer employees than Sony (we have one - me; Sony have more than one), if you bought an ebook from Obverse when we opened our doors 18 years ago, we guarantee you will still have a copy today (just drop me a line with your order number if you can't find it!)

A hell site exchange between some rightly complaining that he turned on his PS3 after ten years on non-use and Sony had deleted all the games he paid for back in the day, and an idiot replying, apparently under the impression that was fine and - presumably - that purchases from Sony are on a temporary ownership basis.

Press Gang S2 beginning. The same coupla folks are just a gnat's whisker off in terms of timing and it would be maddening except actually, the programme is freakishly better than it has any right to be. A show like that never gets that many star turns both sides of the camera. That was strong.
