My Computer

Producer’s notes

Some people are handed their first proper PC. I crowdfunded mine. The crowd was mostly family, and the funding rounds were called Christmas and my birthday.

It took many of both. All the money and every part came from those, and it’s now the machine everything else on this site gets built on. That makes it the best investment my relatives have ever made, whether they know it or not.

The stickers on the case were free. They do not make it faster. I haven’t ruled it out.
