Notable features include a big clean up of the interface and menus, Improvements to KHTML from Apple, better accessibility and hardware support.

    I have a suspicion my old "C Programming Teacher" is behind this.

    I had a teacher by the name of "Michael Loceff". That's the same name of the guy who's the producer/writer of the show.

    When I took an online class from him years ago, he said he did screen-writing on his spare time. He even let his class know when a show aired on "Le Femme Nikita" that he wrote. Kudos to him for bringing real tech to the screen.
