It's happy Straya day tomorrow, I'm pretty much done for now. Let the beer run begin.

@nadnerB

remember when Lotus Notes was the ducks guts, gee if you knew that you were someone special.
knocked up a quick help desk thing with that once, wasn't bad I thought. Ended up not having a use for it.

Anyone know of a simple WYSIWYG html editor that an impatient old mongrel can come to grips with, in 10 minutes??

I feel like that entire category of products faded away long ago.

The products were replaced by CMS engines that have WYSIWYG editors built in for the content.

Yeah, I think I'll just go the hog and install Wordpress (almost typed Wordperfect!)

Another blast from the past! I miss reveal codes!

yeah, wasn't that damn useful.

trying to understand Dreamweaver.

I used to use DW years ago, I got the hang of that ancient version. I don't read instructions so this new version is busting my head open. Old DW used to be great to create via wysiwyg, this version is a PITA.

Years ago (less years ago than my Dreamweaver use in the Macromedia days) I used one called CoffeeCup... not sure if it's still about.

Thanks @nadnerB I've downloaded that am looking at it now.

A PC is a computer that sits on a desk

A RPi sits on a desk, or under it. An Intel NUC sits on a desk or under it.

A laptop is often sat on a desk.

What's the difference?

The only difference is the form factor and features of the different forms. This doesn't change that these are all personal computers which can be used at a desktop.

I was trying to point out that terms should be taken on face value when things are discussed in open environments such as these forums for example.

Who'd ever think that you were talking about a R Pi if you just walked up to someone and said "I upgraded my PC on the weekend, it runs so much better now" would you honestly think they'd reply with "Oh, your R Pi, your NUC, your desktop or your laptop?"

This sort of difficultness is why IT people have a bad rep in society. Why do you think the IT guy always gets killed in movies? They're just too bloody hard to get along with.

You have to expect people to use societally accepted definitions.

You've met @scottalanmiller right?

haha, no I haven't, but he better look out

Nah, as this is a public forum, forum as in space. You have to expect people to use societally accepted definitions.

A PC is a computer that sits on a desk, a laptop/notebook is like a PC but you can carry it. An iPad is an iPad. A tablet is like an iPad but it's not an iPad.

It just won't work if we all have to sit back and consider what person A considers to be a laptop, then what person B considers to be a laptop and so on.

Me, I have no doubt whatsoever that Windows dwarfs *nix on all consumer platforms. I don't live in the US, but I've never heard of a large scale roll out of *nix desktops in a corporation.

I'm not anti *nix, I'll learn and support whatever the predominant infrastructure is, that's just my business model. I was a Novell MCNE, Novell died off, so I became a MS MCNE. I hope I retire before I need to become a *nix guru.

@NashBrydges Tenet was very confusing it reminded me of Interstellar. I have to keep watching it to get it

Great, i'm looking forward to watching that, I love mind benders ...
