If you're a Mac user (including you, Dom!), you'd understand...

...why I've been too preoccupied to comment on the universe lately.

We're upgrading our operating system here, from MacOS9 to OSX (ten). This is the biggest change to the Macintosh Operating System since System 7, or maybe the biggest, period! Gone are the familiar cute little icons that made us all fall in love with the Mac, to be replaced by more polished looking pictograms. Gone is the simple one-box interface, to be replaced by something that more closely resembles Windows.

But it had to happen sooner or later. Our soon-to-come upgrades to major applications would require OSX. This is especially true of applications for web design, the subject of my latest professional foray. Meanwhile, we're upgrading older documents in new versions of software, and trying to figure out why our CD-ROM drives play DVDs, but not CDs.

One good thing though. My new DVD Player is a lot smoother, especially when something else is running at the same time. I can watch reruns of The Andy Griffith Show during lunch. Oh boy!

Oh, and I can still do THIS. Stay tuned...

(Dom, if you're out there... wanna compare notes?)
