This one is coming to you later than I'd hoped due to appallingly slow slash unusable Internet whilst travelling through the South of France (I blame Rennes-le-Chateau), but it's a doozy. Pietro Zuco is back for his 2nd 2UP Takeover, and he shares a project that looks effortless to watch and enjoy, but took so much work, as he restores his first ever computer; the Olivetti M10, and tries to save it from the Millennium Bug!

Thank you for your ongoing support! I'll be back next week hopefully, with my exclusive look at almost the entire range of Jake Young's stunning new Commodore 64 cases, in a video where I also take a new stroll down Nostalgia Lane, visiting the computer shops of Richmond where I bought my first machines, and where I discover quite a surprise in WHSmith!...
