I might use Linux if I had long term experience with it, but with all the software that I use, it would be daunting to switch platforms.

There was something like that, an app where you'd click on clippy and it would take a snapshot overlaid with bullet holes before it got dismissed (I had that in the very late '90s)

i knew it had something to do w/ shakespeare...

"Iambic pentameter is the name given to the rhythm that Shakespeare uses in his plays. The rhythm of iambic pentameter is like a heartbeat, with one soft beat and one strong beat repeated five times."

At least with Apple you know they will never patch what they break (MacOS is way worse in that respect than Windows has been for a long time, and it's intentional)

Too many people just take for granted that anything newer is better. Most people can't discriminate between what is useful for your aim, and what is just bling. I just use whatever works best for me regardless of popularity or age.

Hot take: Apple makes overpriced, cheaply made, closed circuit devices. Just a way to take advantage of the less tech savvy for ease of use. What apple considers "innovation" Android has had for at least 5yrs

the civic spirit that the public theater was founded on has so eroded, it wakes me wonder if the delacorte's audience is touristy now or just an opportunity for people to take "selfie's" ugh, that word

Oh, sorry to hear that. I lost my mother 7/15. There is no way to prepare for it. I don't know those pictures, but I know that Lithgow and Jane Curtin and any of the others are way above the writing and direction. You can tell the ceo I said so.
