It was midnight and a few beers after celebrating a birthday. I'm sorry I offended your grammatical sensibilities. But you really did go full orange site there, didn't you! I will admit to misquoting Mike Tyson; "Everyone has

It's the same every year, isn't it. Likewise, I've been using a Mac since around 1986. The sky has been falling ever since then.
