I adore Merlin, but you'd have to be pretty epically stupid to upgrade all 5 of your computers on day zero of the release before realizing that your shit's broken. While you're supposed to be writing a productivity book. When you knew that the release has no new features that affect you. I guess someone has to lead the troll brigade (deserved or not) for every major release of every major platform.

"Epically stupid" and "leading the troll brigade?" Thank God you adore me, blasdel.

  It's better that you're the principal complainer at the moment than any of the usual suspects -- like the greybeards at macintouch (still pining for OS9) or the denizens of any of the Mac rumor forums (oh no my themes and Haxies!) or any of the surviving BBEdit users. You're doing a pretty good job of playing the goat on Twitter too. Given your usual quality of effort and the normal tone of your writing, it took me several readings to realize that you weren't taking the piss! Did you really upgrade every Mac you come in contact with? When you ran into trouble why didn't you just revert to a backup?
