Hi Bruce, I linked to your LJ from the Pac mate listserv. If I remember correctly, I also saw you on a list related to the Seeing Eye when I was considering going there for a dog. Anyway, mind if I add you to my friends' list? Anyone who wonders that about a Mac is worthy of being called a friend, especially considering I know some of the "exceptions" you mentioned! LOL! It's like I told my friend Jesse. I'm content with my Lenovo Thinkpad and don't intend to learn a new OS any time soon.
