i agree the word is over-used. at the same time, things _are_ getting more awesome lately, at least in my humble opinion. i had been waiting for a machine similar to an ipad for _decades_. and i mean that quite literally. (and i know what "literally" means.) and now something relatively close (still not quite good enough, but happily close) is _finally_ here. perhaps you youngsters can take it for granted. for me, it's awesome. -bowerbird
