NewsFactor on Apple's long term Cocoa strategy
Apple sued over G3 support in OS X
MacCentral: Apple sued over G3 support in OS X
A lawyer has filed a class-action for promising to support G3s and then not delivering. I have one of the affected machines, but I don't think I'd be able to join the suit since I'm Canadian. I could be wrong.
Everyone knows I love Apple, but, they've really screwed over the people who own the early G3 Macs, and I'd love to see Apple settle this by delivering on their promises. (DVD, IRDA and accelerated OpenGL, ATI and QT drivers)

I feel a little silly doing this, but....
Cheryl and I have decided that Matthias didn't look like a Matthias. We both said to each other that it felt forced, not natural. We also agreed that he looked a LOT more like a Xavier. :-) We decided to do something about this before the official paperwork was done and it was too late.
Our son shall now be known as, Xavier Matthias Kurt Roepcke. Sorry for the misstep, but better to fix this now than later, I think.
Cheryl and Xavier came home from the hospital last night. The night wasn't as bad as I expected, but Cheryl got a weird case of the chills in the middle of the night, reminiscent of the one brought on by the spinal in the recovery room after the C-Section.
I'll post more pictures and updates later. I'm actually posting this from an Internet terminal in the Juan de Fuca Library in Colwood. Cyan is at her "Story Time".
Seeing as I don't have a dedicated internet connection, I'm happy I'm using Conversant, a centralized CMS, to post this instead of a tool where I'd be bound to posting only from my desktop or laptop (which couldn't be connected to the Internet here in the library).

ICeCoffEE
Nicholas Riley is 'da man'.
If you're using OS X you really want to get his ICeCoffEE input manager, which puts the Services menu in your right-click contextual menu when text is selected.
