I'm spending my days (and nights) writing about the development and disappearance of fossilised clitics in the Insular Celtic verbal complex—I'm more than excused for going off the deep end and moocking around on the Internet!
At a high-end electronics shop today, I overheard an earnest young salesman explaining all about computers to a new customer: "You can use three different operating systems on a computer -- Apple, HP, and Google."
Installed the Lion upgrade on my iMac this morning, though not without difficulty ... the download crashed the App Store application! My initial thoughts are mixed. 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.

ReplyDeleteDave Barker -- Yeah, don't try it. The neighbors will talk.

ReplyDeleteWhat a mooo-ving tribute, Janus...
Udder shame that you didn't notice that sooner!
Geez ... I leave the Internet to its own devices for just a few hours, and the whole place turns into a cow-medy club.
