I am in a peculiar state...

Gotta love the Mac. ^_^

Pulse, I recently put Hobart in the Dashboard because of our PMs. (Your wx is in Celsius, mine is in Fahrenheit.) Converting to west coast time is easy, but I added the clock anyway. UK is also pretty easy, but, well, the Mac just does it.

Hi mathogre, yep the widget clock does come in very handy ....

When I look in my Dashboard I have a limited number of items I can add. Where do you get the rest?

P.S. Isn't MWC 922: The Red Square Nebula something?

There is a 'Get More Widgets' link if you launch DashBoard and click the + sign to the bottom far left and then 'Manage Widgets' and then click on 'More Widgets' at the bottom of that window.

You can also add multiple instances of the same widget, ie: the clock. Just drag it from the bottom pane to your DeskTop when DashBoard is active.

You have just opened up a new world for me. Thanks.

To be honest I thought it was a Joke.

I'm meant to be going to Ozzy Land soon to meet up with my Brother and Sister there, (they've only been there less than 1 Year)...but it gives me an excuse to go on Holiday.

btw If you wondering they were in Sydney but now there going to Perth.

I thought he was pulling my leg by saying that he lives at The Apple Isle in the Grocery Store Produce Section. Then I said to myself, there are many odd named places on this earth.

i live in the UK and there is a big difference.

Where Pulse-8 lives has a lot to do with apples, but he is not in a grocery store.

I can't connect this to your quote re: my previous post ???

Oooops! I think more about food than my computer at times. And, I have the Apple logo every where around me. Duh!

Actually, my above statement is not true .... but since I use an Apple computer and live in the Apple Isle .... I feel special and expect His Steveness to arrive here any day for the unveiling of the latest and greatest ...

I was referencing that I thought you were jocking by saying that you are from The Apple Isle of the Grocery Store (I actually thought it was a joke until I looked it up, because we call the Grocery Store corridors seperating each type of food, "Isles" here in the US).
Then, (I thought) with that link you provided where it proves where the name The Apple Isle came from (the apple fruit reference was on that Web site because of having many apples there, where you live)
So, I said "The proof is in the pudding." Meaning, you proved to me that what you are saying is not a joke.
The two different sayings are just a little joke about how British say things differently.
Whew!
Let me know if I made any sense, at all.

Perfect sense Talin! I am thick sometimes. We call them aisles here too. I used to just say Tasmania then I realised the double entendre just waiting for me to discover ... I guess my being British was why I got confused.

 

[MaDDoG]

I thought Isles were islands and Apples were Apples.
A grocery store is where grocers work and grocerys are got.
Tasmainia is where Granny Smith and Pulse- 8 reside
And where I most certainly do not!

And, my reference about aisles vs. isles was a bit stretch. But, I was going by how it sounds and not in a literary way.
Glad to solve our issue. lol

P.S. To be really technical: We also have islands of produce in the grocery stores, where you could circle the whole island while picking fruit.

This is what I call a language barrier.
Great verse.
