The audio recording of the waves used in this song was made on a pocket audio recorder which we carry in a bag, as a backup. The video is on this version actually in “reverse”, although many people think that it is right way round like this.

Is the little pebble man the last man on the net?

The old olive tree in the video is casting a shadow over the pebble man on a tavern table, somewhere in the Adriatic. We ordered a battered classical guitar with wine and had an impromptu performance of Online and Backups Are Forever.

The video was taken unplanned, with an iPhone, while riding on the Lynton-Lynmouth water-powered cliff railway one lazy autumn Sunday. The real camera was in the bag. Backups are forever.

This is an ASCII animated feature which pays homage to the stuff which 21st century dreams were made of.

The video uses our own photo of the night sky as a background. It was taken with an ordinary compact digital camera - a simple long exposure shot in the general direction of the summer constellation of Cygnus the Swan.

Our new video features a host of legendary 1970s and 1980s programmable calculators and pocket computers, together with some of their special printers and even a pen plotter! For the first time ever, a music video features a Texas Instruments TI-59 with its beautiful LED display, a Hewlett Packard HP-41CV with its thermal printer, a Sharp PC-1500 with its pen plotter, a Casio FX-702P with its ridiculous keyboard, and many other great gadgets.
