Wow. Hard to imagine this a few years ago!

I am sure that most of us'uns  have been beating that drum for years with all of our "friends" on the dark side.  I love it.

Love this one comment from the apple insider page – emphasis mine:

QUOTE
Based on my own observations at my company, one possible bias is that most folk who have macs are far more savvy than my windows colleagues, even for the simpler things.  They know what they want out of a computer, and macs are their choice.

I don't have an iPad, only my iMac. And I tried it at the Deli but it opened a pastrami sandwich.  whistling.gif

Wait! I just tried it again and it opened. Go figure... (Must be the pastrami.)

I don't know what's wrong with that link. I confirmed that it IS the link to the article (went to the site, found it there) but it won't open in Safari now. Opened fine in Chrome though. Weird.

I tried it again in both Safari and Firefox and it opened. Yesterday, it wouldn't open in either browser. Perhaps it's a glitch with the website?

Maybe the site is running on an IBM made server! Groaner.gif Maybe it is sharing the same server that Watson uses...
