Yes. I had a DC02 and it ruled my carpeted domain for years, but if I used it for anything heavier than fluff, it keeled over and died. Not the Dyson's fault -you wouldn't expect it to be suitable for clearing plaster and builder's rubble from between floorboards.
The Henry, on the other hand, seems to clear everything.
Geez, twenty-five years of Parameter RAM and the name gets to mean something else like *snaps fingers* that. There oughta be a law. It's like when "frontside" became "backside" </old_skater_grumble>
Actually, there was a mid-90s (?) audio spoof of the ads that certainly hit the Mac community here in the UK. It went along the lines of...
Narrator: "we've replaced Dave's Macintosh with new Microsoft Windows 95, let's see if he notices the difference" SFX: "..." Dave: "What The Fuck IS this crap?" etc.

Take a look at Shiira, while you're checking out web browsers. It's another take on Webkit but seems to work better in my particular work environment* than Safari ever has.Pw
I *still* find there are times when only Font/DA Mover will do the job. That's been around about as long as I've been using the Macintosh (first got my grubby mitts on a 512ke in 1987 and never looked back).
Okay, I know, I know... different strokes and all that.
Here's my morning thing. Like other posters in this Porage/Porridge thread, I noticed an all-round improvement in mind, body and soul since having this for breakfast. Usually, I prep this the night before and boil it up in the morn. It tastes creamier when you do that = good.
1 cup jumbo oats 1 cup SoGood(TM) soya milk, the fresh stuff preferably. 1 cup water a teaspoon of honey then, I "shave" an apple or pear into the mix.
Since changing to this (from endless rounds of toast and Marmite/espresso), I've lost the need for a mid-morning booster of coffee and donuts. In fact, I've stopped drinking coffee altogether. Two side benefits have been weight loss and uninterrupted sleep. Downsides is I'm really boring and prescriptive about other people's breakfast habits.
hmm, I never ever RTFA, but this is the first time a lead-in has got me stumped. Or maybe I'm getting old. *inserts toast into Betamax VCR and continues regardless*
At our place (no local admins, so no local installs of software), the problem with Apple's updates are that they sometimes break the bespoke applications that rely upon -say- Safari. I agree that the Apple software update model is super-convenient for the majority of Macintosh users who are masters of their own systems, but that's not really working in an "Enterprise" environment, as I see it.
From the first G3 blue & white casing through to the last iteration of the graphite-cased G4, there was room for THREE 3.5" drives, side by side. You didn't get data cabling for all those positions, I'll admit, but the space and drive sleds were there.
Thanks for showing your working, but it really DOESN'T need to mean every font size. As someone up there has already mentioned, it's entirely possible to have multiple cuts of a typeface family (each a different font) that you and I will read as "one" but a font audit will claim "fifty". For example...
Other reasons why 11000 fonts can be found... Freelancers taking around their own font stashes. It used to be a SyQuest disk, now you can carry an iPod with gigabytes of the things. Jobs that pass through with fonts included Someone made a copy of an unlocked Adobe/Monotype/Linotype etc. font library
On my own font audit, I found more than 2000 on one Macintosh. We have 250 Macs here... Needless to say we are now completely legal.
Yup, did the same thing. Fortunately, I was off a Greek island at the time and it was only about 15ft of water. The deepest I've ever gone and never again. *reads it back* Kinda dull story. But you started it.
Similar experience with a trashed and probably-out-of-warranty 5GB iPod: "wedding present huh? well, I guess you don't really know when it was purchased eh?" 48 hours later I had a new one.
BTW, anyone remember those Apple-branded FDHD diskettes from way back? In the UK they were punted at £5 EACH. Things have improved a lot since those days imo.
Well, they've certainly become more attuned to the customer as being -perhaps- somehow important to their business. They're supposed to be listening these days. But it's come rather too late to make a difference in the UK, I fear. We've moved all our desktops to InDesign and just about every other UK consumer magazine publisher that isn't locked into QPS is making the same move. A few thousand desktops may not mean a great deal in terms of lost licence cash to Quark Inc, but when you think about how many freelancers and related small businesses will make the change, it becomes more significant.
Just one more note, as this is getting way off-topic: I attended plenty of meetings where the IT directors of UK publishers sat with Quark's European reps, trying to coax ANY information from them regarding compatibility with OS X as well as inviting Quark to present their support plans for the new OS. In each meeting, we met with virtual silence until the last one where they told us to "upgrade to Quark 5 now -and use Classic- and we'll sort you out a proper OS X version later". In the intervening two years, we'd got plenty of information about suggested features x, y and z -but nothing about what we wanted to know. They blew it.
I honestly believe they could have delivered a carbonised version of Quark v4 and Adobe InDesign wouldn't have had a chance.

But I take your point about the brushes.

No, none of these things matter. I just can't help myself.

"just not a good team player".
This is not true. Although your mileage will vary, depending on the team.

That, for some reason, put me in mind of "Lady Chatterley's Lover".
Are you ALL local admins of your own Macs?

Anything to do with that famous Hugh Grant "can ye tek mi length?" story?
No? Okay. Move along. Nothing to see here...
Okay I'll get this one.
From the first G3 blue & white casing through to the last iteration of the graphite-cased G4, there was room for THREE 3.5" drives, side by side. You didn't get data cabling for all those positions, I'll admit, but the space and drive sleds were there.
Funny, I read that as "former lover".
Short answer? Yes: I read it in FHM Magazine.

Thanks for this. Nail/head.
But let the record show that I laughed long and hard at that.
And even now, having wiped the coffee from my KVM, I am snickering.
Thanks!

I'm sure that my French "cherms" would also see this as funny.

You got that right! Entourage is touted as an "Outlook for Mac" by MS. It doesn't come close.
