Same as last week. One from Mac-Forums, one from real life.

Here goes...

:bomb:In mac-forums I learned that some mac folk are as igorant about how Windows works, as PC folk are about Mac OSX. That's not an insult, just an observation of myths/misinformation.

:eek:neye:At home I learned, the hard way, what to quote for a certain type of website. File that one under 'oops'.


OK, you go!

In Mac-forums I learned that we have such a great community here we can even get a 2+ page thread out of celery and dip. :black:

In real-life I learned a friend/manager where I work (More friend than manager though) Is not only a bad manager and appalling friend but extreemely childish and has developed some sort of personal vendetta against me... maybe next week I'll learn why...

I have learnt that I need to clean my scrolly mouse ball.
I have also found a great add-on that will screen grab a whole page :D

And I have also learnt that my cats finally forgive me for getting a pup :)
