Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Thanks everybody, and especially le_nubian, for the explanations. On my PowerBook I had mostly been using Text Edit which seems to be a bit of a hybrid. Most of my writing is fan fiction, so the formatting is pretty basic. Bold and italics are helpful but don't always carry through to the sites I post to anyway. I do write the occasional business letter, but that is pretty much it. So maybe all I really need is a text editor. I'm going to look at the ones you mentioned, le_n.

Thanks again!

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

Digg Sells for $500K.

The $500,000 purchase price amounts to pennies on the investment dollars that poured into the once popular news aggregation site. Digg raised $45 million over six years from Marc Andreessen, Ron Conway, and venture firm Greylock Partners.

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 haven't been to the digg website in many years.

So it's all my fault.

So, um, what's the thinking on those iPad accessories packages that include caps for the various and sundry jacks? I have never in my life worried about covering jacks or ports or various other openings in my electronic bobs. Except possibly in AZ during dust storms. Three years from now am I going to be regretting my devil-may-care (and if he does, let him spend the money) attitude?

WindSparrow, I've never had problems with that, but I suppose one concern would be how much random crap tends to be floating around in the bag that you carry it in? I know sometimes I get random pieces of crap that have broken or fallen out, swimming at the bottom of my bag, and I could totally see that getting into one of the jacks....

Hmm, I do not carry it around a heck of a lot, and the bag I have designated for that purpose doesn't have anything else in it as a rule. So cappy-things equal waste of money In current circs. Thanks.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I am thinking about getting this tv.

Can someone tell me why I shouldn't? Except for the price. My tv is done and I need a new tv. The price seems high, but low for this category of TVs.
