  • Just to nit-pick: Latin IS spoken natively in one state. True, the law makes it illegal for the population to have children, but they still battle on. Saying French is spoken natively on the Kerguelen islands is stretching things, as I believe they are unihabited except for a few penguins. French does not quite fill the borders of France either. However, there French is expanding with Breton, Basque and the Langue de Oc dialect dwindling. And of course Allsass-Lotrington is still being frenchified.

    Apple Afraid to Compete on the Hardware Side?
  • My God! 225 posts before the impossiblity of editig files via Open/Save dialogs was mentioned. This is a severe limitation to the freedom Windows gives me at work. (They won't let me use a Mac.) And no-one has contradicted the guy who noted that windows should be resizable from all four sides. Try justifying that to a MS-W user. Not fun. A big blue flashing button saying OK and I can't press Enter? I must click OK? This is so insane, I feel I must have missed something. Please tell me it is so. I have given up on Home/End on my mac. My brain can understand it, but not my motor memory. The blame is MS's. With Word using the Windows way of handling this, the confusion is too great. For those who accidentaly hit Delete instead of End, Undo has been invented. Finally, how about a Trash Can that stays put in the corner? It's not really a novel idea. I even think some company actually implemented something like that about 1984 or so.
