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

We're magic.

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.

You're supposed to have a telepathic connection with the operating system.

I just want to say this conversation is making me so happy to see you, John.
