Devised in March 2003 to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Strathspey Server. The name of the dance recalls a vital part of the computer, used by all „strathspeyers‟. The name also alludes to the spirited character of the dance and the music: a great driving reel (The Fairy Dance).
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (8). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.
