In The Market For A Mac Mini
My current PC is in it’s autumn. It’s long-term memory has started clicking and it sometimes dozes off when it should be awake. I built the damn thing myself.

The Golden Compass Mini-Review
Reviews are spoilerfree but beware of comments.
There are many parallel universes, all connected by the mythical golden substance: dust. In one such universe, souls are separate from humans and walk beside them as animals.
