Puts away computerised model, it's pretty ordinary (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mediocre

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pretty ordinary' is the definition.
'mediocre' can be an answer for 'ordinary' (similar in meaning). I'm not certain of the 'pretty' bit.

'puts away computerised model' is the wordplay.
'away' is a deletion indicator.
'model' is an anagram indicator.
'computerised' with 'puts' removed is 'comeried'.
'comeried' with letters rearranged gives 'MEDIOCRE'.

'it's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mediocre that I've seen before include "Commonplace, not distinguished" , "Of unexceptional quality" , "Not very good" , "Fair, middle of the road" , "Come ride (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
