A week or two ago my ex-wife was trying to impress me with the details of the new laptop her dad had just bought. "Did you know they don't come with hard drives any more?" she asked - "they come with it all on a thumb drive" I asked her if she meant operating system disc, but she insisted she was right - no hard drive. She then said "It's got a 15" screen, an A10 processor, 4Gb of memory and a 1Tb hard drive" I asked if it doesn't come with a hard drive, why has it got a 1Tb hard drive? She started to fluster then, and changed the subject!

What a pretentious oik. He could just switch off the auto correct features. I think it more likely he does it so he can say he does it. I bet it annoys his publisher!

The new subject involved your sleeping on the couch?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

Why get rid of something that works? I have a first-gen iPad, and I don't want a new one as the one I have works perfectly fine for what I use it for.

Aunty said "And he said that he hated spell-checking programmes because they were unlikely to recognise a lot of the words in a fantasy novel." Or pick the write won... :rolleyes: Should that not be programs? (The former is television/radio broadcasts etc.) Reading all the usage and definitions would suggest it should be the later: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/programme[^]
It's certainly not the one you'd generally pick there. I'm not sure it's actually wrong. The difference comes from British vs American and the American version is usually used for computer software because so much of it came from there. It may be an intentional two fingers to that.

Because only if they put something which does not work, they can pretend to work to convince you that something is working.

He should have switched to Word 2.0 (for DOS), it was really good and didn't use as much memory as WordStar. This was back in the good old days when Microsoft could actually sometimes make better software than the competitors without having to buy another competitor.

(Quite) a few years ago I was working for a large government department in the UK and was given the job of creating standard business templates for all users - letters, memos, agendas etc - all featuring the official logo, using the standard fonts and layouts etc. Half of the people were using MS Word 6.0 on Windows 2000 and Windows 98, but the other half had yet to be upgraded and were mainly using Wordperfect on DOS 6.1 boxes. The people who specified the document standards were using the best printers, had full MSOffice with MS Publisher and specified a standard font that wasn't a standard Windows font (Garamond, which came with Publisher), specified logo positioning that 90% of the printers in use couldn't handle (within the non-printable areas on the page) and provided high res logos that the insisted must be used, which increased the document file sizes by a factor of at least 10, causing everything to grind to a halt as the file servers ran out of disk space. The number of different options I was required to provide also blew through the 64KB limit for Windows .ini files, so I had to have entries in the main ini file that pointed to subordinate ini files. Oh joy! Writing the Wordperfect versions was also a nightmare - the WP macro language was shite.

I know people who think they need to go through AOL to browse the internet. It is the only interface with which they are familiar. :rolleyes:
