Were You at the Meeting Last Night?

If not, we’ll be slowing back down to your speed soon!

A lot of presenters showed us, and talked about, a lot of new stuff (all of those upcoming Mac and iOS products) and lots of must-have info for summer vacation. Did you know you can edit photos in Preview? One of the really cool things I learned. And check out Apps & Traps for some seriously ROFL† cartoons.

Coco’s must be Irish: we talked, and talked, and talked…

That’s my story; I’m sticking to it!

You gotta check this out: Macintosh Web Browsers Past and Present! The author, Darrel E Knutson, starts the page thusly:

Welcome to yet another list on the Internet that once again shows that some people have odd interests and priorities or simply too much free time.

This list contains only publicly available browsers that work on Apple Macintosh hardware running any version of any Macintosh operating system.

I have been maintaining this selection of Mac browsers since 1994.…
