And ARM has/had all its fun endianness modes.

(I spent too long in 68k land, clearly! It's probably the difference between the experience of 16bit endianness and 32bit endianness)

D'oh! I'm an idiot. Yes.

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it?

A black fuzzy felt board with three ballerina figures in pink tutus and dancing poses the middle with a star stuck to her head

A blue fuzzy felt backing board with the felt pieces of clowns and animals from the fuzzy felt circus set stuck to it

Been buying vintage Fuzzy Felt for the art I’m making & it’s so deeply tender & touching finding some still carry ghost traces of the last owner’s play & since the sets are so old, I wonder if these little scenes were made by a child who’s my age now, with fond middle-aged memories of creating them

Permission granted.

Obviously the correct answer is Upstairs Downstairs. But people would be allowed Secret Army and I wouldn't think less of them.
