me? I don't remember but I do know you have been a The Thin for as
long as there has been a thin... Heck, I was just looking through
some of the past post on the archive Jimmy sent out and I saw your name
over and over...
which actually brings me to another rant but I won't go in to it ...
well just a bit... Jim, you need a "TVP" ThinList Valuable
Person..... I don't reply often if at all but I know guys like Greg,
Joe, Steve, and a boat load of others do and have since I was a little
boy playing with WinFrame... ;) To me those are the REAL stars... I
just read and learn.... You guys do it for free... I make money
running DABCC.com and others make money off it too and there is nothing
wrong with that but you guys do it to help people for no other reason
than to help people. Now there is a Novell idea (anyone get the joke?,
Steve, Joe, Jim you should.. ;) ) That is an amazing thing. Be
proud... I am better off because of you guys.. that is for sure..

you and I have come a long way from emailing each other over iPaqs at
iForum back when you first released your printing tools.

Yes, mutitouch is way cool Came out of Microsoft R&D and is a lot like
what we see on the iPhones... I think it is very, very cool but
then tabs are cool too but nobody really uses them. Gates has been
saying for years he thinks the keyboard is the thing of the past but I
just don't know if I agree. I love my keyboard and I type faster than
I write (not always as good but faster.. ;) )
Anyhoo... Yah, way cool stuff Mr. Jim. Very cool stuff.. I want a
Surface... For what? I don't know but I sure do want one.. But then I
want a segway too.... And a new car, and a ... I want a lot of stuff..
And thanks to Greg I want a Mac Air and a quad core mac. This thinlist
is costing me too much money.. ;) LOL

Multitouch in Windows 7. Seems to be the same UI the MVP's
played with and saw on the Microsoft Surface Table in Building 46 in
Redmond.

I just like the Mac as a desktop and the 24" iMac is
just a great size and screen to have on your desk. I can boot it to
Windows for general use
but after a while I always miss the Mac OS "feel".
I use a standard wireless keyboard and two button
wireless mouse so there is no mouse envy there
Keep in mind that I was a NeXTSTEP user going back to
the Winview and Winframe days so I have been doing this a long time. I
naturally switch modifier keys between CNTRL and COMMAND so it is easy
to cut and paste and navigate between platforms.. Also I avoided Mac OS
thru 9, that was crap. When NeXTSTEP became Mac I was back in!
