- I've heard all the Mac faithful singing the praises of 10.3. Some of the features look nice and all, but I haven't felt any upgrade pressure. However, this little trick that would allow me to have command-N create a new folder (again as god intended) rather than open a new finder window (as Jobs intended) might almost be worth the $100+ price tag.... |

- As long as I'm ranting about the contents of today's mail, let me also note that I'm not surprised that cable rates seem exorbitant (disclaimer: I subscribe to DirecTV rather than cable), as apparently the cable companies need all your money for their direct mail campaign. Today alone I received two separate (and different in copy and design) mailers exhorting me to subscribe to Comcast's cable services. Did someone there think that if the first one didn't sway me, the second one in the same day's post just might? And this is in addition to the one I received yesterday, and the other two or three I received over the past week. |
