I have to say that I think you should just go back to Tbird 2.0. It just rocks and I found it to be very flexible for what I needed to do on PCs and macs.

Is anyone else having a problem with text being clipped in the Facebook news feed? For the last day or so, the text has been cutting off at the edge, wrapping to the next line (so one or more letters of a word are on one line and the rest of the word on the next). I'm pretty sure I didn't change any settings in FB or IE.

ETA: Nevermind. I think it's a "Compatibility View" issue. Now if I could only get that stupid bubble to stop appearing.

Tommy, you might try Zimbra. I don't know the requirements, but they have a pretty comparison chart on their website that made them look really spiffy, and it's compatible with Windows Mac and Linux. [link]

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If your operating system is overly complex and error-prone, the way to fix it is to add yet another layer of complexity to patch over the problems. Brilliant!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I am typing from an iPad. Sadly, it is not MY iPad. S is under very strict orders not to let me go to the apple store on the way home.

Our wings are not tired

I have a deep love for my iPad. So far my laptop has only come out of my bag for a total of 5 minutes on this trip.

Yeah, I'm really liking it - I was expecting to find it really appealing and want one of my own to curl up with on the couch and watch Netflix and play casual games and all that consumery whizbang I-don't-care-if-it's-not-hardcore-productive stuff, but I wasn't counting on how strong the visceral WANT NOW was going to be even after approximately 47 zillion Apple products.

I'm used to feeling like "this is way the hell nicer than other computers/mp3 players/phones, so why would I want a different brand" (and I know that's worth it to me and not always to others, and everyone's got their own priorities with those decisions)... this thing is beyond "nicer" and somewhere in the land of "whoa." And I don't want to return it. Already.

But surely you want to wait until you can get one with 3G connectivity rather than just WiFi, Amych?? Or maybe that's just me and my airport-going self.
