Omnis, I had to stop reading you link. I was laughing so hard, the bed was shaking.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Jessica, that post seems to be deleted.
Oh, it must have sold already.
The tricky part is finding people who are selling JUST the Mini without a full set of peripherals, because adding in a monitor bumps up the asking price and I really don't need a monitor since I want the Mini for my TV!

Yeah, it was the damnyouautocorrect. I'm not exactly sure what made it so funny, but this morning, it was hilarious.

Explain this to me. Do people just not notice that it's autocorrecting while they type? Or is it doing it in the ether, like Yahoo Groups used to do with some word or other?
(I think it was "expression" that got autochanged to "statement". So you would see fics talking about the severe statement on someone's face.)

Well, sometimes you have the word typed mostly correct and then it just suddenly changes it. I guess if you review each post bfore you click send, you would catch it. But when typing on my iPhone, I mostly look at my fingers/keys and not the screen so much.

On a related note, I have to say I'm really impressed with how well the Swype typing works. It's made the pullout keyboard on my phone totally unneeded.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I got the G2, brenda, and Swype is pretty good. I'm faster on the the physical keyboard, though, and I type a lot of words that aren't in the dictionary, so I do usually end up using it.
