This is a follow up to my previous post. I have types HTML, to see how it is formatted, if at all. I have also used the link for the first time. You just need to select text and then press the link button, then type in a URL. I think it would be great if you could press the link button without selecting text.

I will try do it for more apps. --Edit 31 August 2011, 18:04 Adding the HTML mark-up to the text editor removed WYSIWYG formatting when posting.

My thoughts on the save icon

Should the standard "Save Icon" not be updated for something more relevant for our time?

Games, and other software no longer ever come on CD-ROM anymore, they are on DVD, and now even Blu-ray. The only way to install Mac OS X Lion is to download it fro...

Happy New Year

I have not been very productive during December regarding anything I was wanting to do last year, but I have managed to keep very busy with multiple random things. I managed to finish a book I was reading: Spud Learns to Fly . I have started reading Scar Tissue . Work official starts again tomorrow, and I am looking forward to it, and will try get back into a regular routine, including getting all computers set up the way I need/want them to be. I have felt extremely "offline" over the last few months, and would like to correct that as soon as possible.
