Knowing I can't upload pictures to this board, I saw a "cartoon" with Steve Jobs at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter is at his podium with a huge book of many many pages. As St. Peter is flipping through the pages trying to find his entry, Steve says: "I have an app for that."
Joan's post reminds me to mention to all the new folks on the list that when Cynthia set up the list she made it so that nothing could be attached to postings. I'm on a bunch of lists and noticed that all but one was set up that way so I checked and found that attachments are one of the more common methods employed by ne'er-do-wells to distribute computer viruses and spyware. Once I learned that I got off the one list that allows attachments. So if you want to post an image you need to either put it on a web site (SLAS members can use the SLAS Gallery which will automatically scan stuff put there for bad stuff) and include the URL to that. Or, in cases like Joan's where the item is already on the web just include the URL. Regarding Joan's post, just for fun I poked around the web and found the image I think Joan was referring to: http://www.g4tv.com/attackoftheshow/blog/post/717182/steve-jobs-at-the-pearl... But that search led me to a few more: http://lynk.ly/stories/view/990152 http://lolebrity.net/2011/10/05/steve-jobs-at-the-pearly-gates/ My favorite related quote of the day which I read in today's Tribune read something to the effect that when Steve Jobs died "...he left the world to his own devices". patrick Send from my iMac with my iPhone in my pocket, my MacBook and iPad in my backpack, my Mac G4 on the next desk and my MacPlus (circa 1980s and it still works) in the next room.
