My iPad Is Awesome

I put the image of a chess board on it, and used it to play chess.

Later, I put the image of a trivet on it, and used it to protect my table from a hot dish.

Right now, I've got the image of a mousepad on it, and I'm using it with my mouse.

And it's not very related, but Jay Tea's right. This part of the country is a great place to live if you're a bit of a recluse. I'm not, though . . . by nature. So, next time I'm down there, I'll have to look him up.

Well, when it comes to my neighbors, I am a bit of a recluse. The young couple next door – I have meet her only once in the two years they’ve lived there. And I have never meet the kids from the neighbors on the other side of me, even though my dogs bark at them almost daily (we’ve been in this house since ’95).

As for the Apple stuff: this civilization will likely end because of the Microsoft/Apple fight. Consider this: how many car accidents would there be daily if different car manufacturers decided to place the brake pedals in different places? What would happen if the car you drove for work was different than yor personal car? There are benefits to some uniformity.

  Standardization, you mean. And with cars, it’s just a few things with plenty of room for variation.
  
  And the standardization in cars (pedal placement, rear lights, etc.) isn’t contained in proprietary information. Any fool who wants to build a road-worthy car can do it (and any fool usually does), but until Open-Source Windows hits the ‘nets, we’re stuck with whatever that fascist Gates wants us to be stuck with.
  
  Did I ask for my Office toolbars to be so thick that I can hardly see the screen when viewing two docs? No, I’m pretty sure I didn’t, nor did I ask them to totally change where everything is and then neglect to tell you where they put it in the help files.
  
  Poor tech writers, though. It’s obvious they had to write the help files from the requirements document instead of having a GUI to play with. Makes for useless help files, I tell you what.

Sorry to answer you so late, but meeting for lunch or a beverage or two (I’m a teetotaler) sounds fine to me. How often do you get over to the 12A section of West Leb? (vaguely cryptic reference to local geography deliberate.) Drop me an e-mail, if you like…
