So I bought one of those "memory foam" mattress toppers yesterday

So I bought one of those "memory foam" mattress toppers yesterday ... but as soon as I got into bed I knew I was going to hate the thing. And then I slept for ten solid hours. :)

    The weirdest thing is changing positions after you've settled in ... at first, I almost felt trapped inside the foam.

    the main reason i have not tried it is worry about the heat in summer...

    I'd wondered about that, too, but the new designs claim to be "temperature neutral." I guess I'll find out next spring ...

    Susan Dennis I just got the one Costco sells ... Novaform brand, 2-1/2 inches thick. If you try one, I'd like to know what you think!

    Cool! One piece of advice: after you unseal the shrink-wrap it comes in, unfold it and lay it out on the balcony or somewhere for a few hours, so the "chemical" smell will dissipate before it goes in the bedroom. Not a big deal, but it did bug me some yesterday.

    It's just hard to visualize a rugged, backwoods fellow like you using any kind of mattress topper, much less one made of memory foam. ;-)

    Scott Murdock Hey, even us rugged, backwoods types like to be pampered once in a while. :-p

    Jennie Goff That's exactly how I felt at first, too. But after a couple of nights, now, I'm hooked on the thing.

Safari seems much improved, and the left/right swipe action there is brilliant. I'm already used to the "reversed" scrolling, but I re-enabled the always-visible scroll bar ... it makes no sense at all to have that disappear on a desktop device. Launchpad is useless for anyone with more than a handful of apps, and since I don't use Spaces I don't really like the new look of Mission Control. Mail seems more solid, though I went back to the classic UI there. There's a lot of serious ugliness in the UI, especially for a design-conscious company like Apple. The Finder and Mail went way too far towards the monochrome look ... the font choices, spacing, and graphic layout all suck. On the other hand, Apple went too far in the other direction in the Address Book and iCal, sacrificing usability and
