[Leica] Looking For Simple, Automated, Cross-Platform Back Up Solution....

[john at mcmaster.co.nz (John McMaster)]

;-)  I do not feel the urge to be forced to buy, and find room for, a new 
input device (on top of keyboard, mouse and graphics tablet) to use an OS. I 
guess it may take over from the mouse (not sure control is fine enough yet), 
but I don't feel good about 10.7 (used OSX since beta) and seems to be 
dumbing down. First upgrade I have felt that about...

I get the impression Mac is going all laptop (plus maybe iMac); my 23" Apple 
display died and I could only get a 24" on the insurance a year or so back 
(not as good as the 23"). It comes with such a short cable that it barely 
reaches from my elevated display shelf to the Pro on the ground. If my other 
Apple display dies I will have to move my Pro as the cable will most 
certainly not reach from where it is, why do I want my DVD drives under my 
desk rather than beside it? Reason for the short cables? Not so much desktop 
clutter when plugged into a laptop :-(

no fair changing the discussion in mid-stream;^)

"can't" and "don't wanna" are very different things

can't debate the latter

i think touching will displace mousing as we adjust to it--i suspect it will 
be much faster after it develops and we practice

mice were (and are) pretty unnatural

i already find myself reaching out to touch the screen on my macs
