Yes, that's the one, But there are no Jenson's here.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Yeah, I figured I would have to install my 2010 software at some point (and I did use 2007 at work and have Sophia's handy dandy menu conversion spreadsheets), but I haven't had a problem opening files so until someone won't pay me until I upgrade I'm sticking with my toolbars. (I don't know why all these companies think they are simplifying things when everything seems to take more clicks than before.)
More clicks, plus I have bad eyes, and can plain old see the menus better on pre-ribbon. And microsoft does not believe in letting you change menu font (unless you want to change the font in your entire windows). Got bad eyes? Use the magnifying glass to look at a tiny piece of the screen at a time Want a better accomodation than that? As far as Msoft is concerned you can fuck yourself.
I think ribbons are not unlike QWERTY keyboards.
I recall that someone was working on a plug in to give one menus. Hmmm.
There are plugins for menus. But they imitate the pre-ribbon menus only so far and then you back on the ribbon. Like if I want to change the format of endnotes or footnotes that has to be done with the ribbon. Plus menu plugins still use MS menu font (even the ribbon has some menus). So visibility problem does not change. I might be able to get used to the ribbon othewise. I could live with extra clicks occasionally cause mostly what i do in word is type. But if they won't give me either ribbons or menus I can see, well screw that.

You mean designed to slow you down? I did not realize it was purposeful.
Ah, well, then I switch my statement to "unintended result"
heh.
The Qwerty store was presented as fact several times in typing classes and graphic arts up through my degree.
The Internet is good at messing with the status quo.
Has anyone used the Moves app? I like it for tracking my exercise and I also think it's really cool to track where I've been. But it also creeps me out that anyone who picks up my phone (which does have an access code) can see everywhere I've been and for how long. I'm normally not unusually concerned about privacy but for some reason, this has me wondering who could do what with the info.
It sort of reminds me of Find my friends which I never used because it was also too creepy.
I'm thinking a wireless touchpad might be easier on my wrist than a mouse, but a decent sized one not the size built into laptops. PC windows 7. Thinking of the logitech wireless USB, but it seems to have a few flaws. Don't know if there is something better quality that will work off a Win7 Pc - with only USB2 ports. But does have bluetooth.
