Of course the other advantage of the new Apple monitors (or any others that come out with T-Bolt connections) is that you can daisy chain to a hard drive or array and the display so you only have to have one connection when you "dock" or MBA or MBP. The Apple T-Bolt display has a built in T-Bolt plug and magsafe power plug, to connect and power a laptop, plus a T-Bolt port on the back for a hard drive or whatever else you want to daisy chain in. Same would be true for the new Mini but the convenience of one plug is not as important in a static PC situation.
No regrets here but if it is going to be used as a primary computer then the extra screen real estate would be nice. I have not tried to run down the battery but I have only gotten the 20% left warning once and I really do not plug it in all the time.
And here it is with 3oz Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye, .5oz simple syrup, several dashes Peychaud's Bitter, a wash on chilled glass number 2 of Opaline absinthe, and a lemon peel garnish rubbed first on the rim of glass number 2.
I have been thinking the same thing! In a similar vein, the head of my firm has insisted that people stop the practice of sending thank-you emails because they are so wasteful when we are all inundated already. His point is that we can just agree and assume that others are thankful. I was put to the test the other day when i had to inform him about my mother's passing and my lack of billing as a consequence. When he sent a nice understanding note in response, I had to fight the urge to say thanks. I don't think even Shelly would push the "congrat" model that far though!
So sorry that this kind of tragedy was brought to your country. It's like Oklahoma City combined with the Virginia Tech massacre just to make the horror that much worse. Sick people are everywhere, I guess.
Monte Carlo cocktail with Rittenhouse rye, Benedictine and orange bitters. I'm waiting for my son so we can go see Casablanca with the SF Symphony playing the score.
