And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hey, I was 4 in 1982. Give a girl some credit for learning to read and write before going online. So many people today skip that step.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Gotcha all beat, probably. I grew up in Salt Lake, about 4 blocks from the University of Utah computer lab, which was one of the original nodes on ARPAnet. For several years in my youth, starting in about '76 or '77, my Dad got me an account in the lab to keep me busy during summer vacation. So . . . .

You know those round hovercraft they were selling at Christmas? The kind that you could kick around the floor?

What were they called, and who sells them?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've been told that the Mac Mini combination WiFi/Bluetooth upgrade will be shipping about 6-8 weeks from now. When I bought the Mini in Feb. I was told it would ship in March.

(The WiFi upgrade alone is shipping now.)

Thunderbird's filters run automatically for me, too. In fact, on the setup screen for the filters, it says "Enabled filters are run automatically in the order shown below."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Google found "Air Pucks." Is this what you had in mind? [link] and [link]

I saw that FIrefox flaw thing. And then I turned off Javascript. And then my webmail stopped working. So I guess I'm just gonna have the security hole.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I think they should make a Roomba into an air puck.

Kick it around! Clean your floors!
