You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Anyone need a 10.6.8 (Snow Lion) disk? I have a spare. Family didn't communicate well...

Due to a strange occurrence, yes. Do you actually have one still, sarameg? I realize your post was weeks ago.

Nephlet is now 18 and got his old computer back. But we age-restricted that thing like crazy and no one knows the password.

Can't help myself:

There's Snow Leopard and there's Mountain Lion but there's no "Snow Lion".

John, that sort of detail and inability to keep quiet is....so very Buffista. :)

Ahahaha! I was looking at the # to be sure to get it right, no idea how I did that.

I did invent this thread after all. Or someone similar to me did, many years ago.

Ha. I was just paying attention to the numbers because I cannot keep all of the cats organized and properly stacked.

You'd think *I* could keep my cats straight...

It puzzles the hell out of my why Apple maintains a system of numbered operating systems and a matching system of named operating systems, but refuses to tell owners of Apple computers what the name is.

I go "about this Mac" and I can clearly see I'm using 10.8.5. I don't know what the name of that is. I have to go to Wikipedia to find out.

Is it because of Internationalisation? Is Snow Leopard called "Escargot de Niege" in French? I"m baffled.
