Will there be 10-16 locations? Or just 10-16 people who need to be on at once, but in 2-4 locations, or? Not that I actually have any sugestions, but seems that would make a difference in what you can do. (16 little screens of heads on my computer would freak me out)

Yeah -- it depends on how many people are traveling. We might need to have ten or twelve little heads on the screen at once. I wonder how practical that is -- even if everybody has big screens.

Our wings are not tired

Actually that's going to become more of a bandwidth issue to do 10-12 streams to each site.

Trust my rage

I totally love my iPhone too!

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

I'm listening to the most recent (all iPhone) TWiT, and it's so cute how everyone sheepishly admits that they bought 2...

Also, D is in his sling in my lap right now, and he's very fussy listening to this. Clearly he wants me to get an iPhone, right? And honestly, what kind of mother would I be if I denied him?

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

Clearly he wants me to get an iPhone, right?

Of course! He's just a baby -- how can you expect him to deal with the graphical conventions of a typical phone interface?

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

OS X question--how do you switch between windows of an application? The ^F4 equivalent, I mean. There must be an easier way than mousing the main mail window, for instance, out of the way of the child message window.

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

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I use F10, I think. Either that or F11 shows you all the windows of the program you're in and I usually select the one I want from that screen.

Thanks!
