I've missed out on the beginning of this, but... Daniel Lanois? Go for it! Seen him live twice, once as part of his own trio on the "For the Beauty of Wynona" tour (1993), when he had a power trio with Brady Blade and Brian Blade. Absolutely intense, very loud, and much heavier than the albums, although with the same attention to detail that you would expect from hisd production work. The other time was as part of Emmylou Harris's band (1995?), with the rest of the trio as backup. If you don't know it, I can recommend "Wrecking Ball" as a wonderful introduction to this period of both Lanois and Harris. The gig will always stick in my mind as it was at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, and the audience was basically Glasgow country fans... very, very country, and being a Glasgow audience, very unforgiving. They were expecting Emmylou Harris to walk on and play straight country, and instead got Daniel Lanois doing his impression of Adam the Chef from "Northern Exposure", wearing a woolly hat and a "Motorhead, England" T-Shirt*, playing a guitar with loads of effects and feedback for about 10 minutes... 10% of the audience was prepared for this , and 90% wasn't. By the end of the night, he had them all on side anyway, as the quality of the show made up for the puctured expectations. As I said, go. You won't regret it. *Don't try this in Glasgow and expect to live. > Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2003 00:33:57 +1200 > From: grutness@surf4nix.com (James Dignan) > Subject: caramel Lanios > > >my love for the caramel (or carmel) chocolates has > >hurt my cd collection.

Problems: talking of which, Stewart, can you recall whether the accents in "Hamish Macbeth" were true west coast? Hamish was supposedly Glaswegian, the doctor was a local who'd gone away to Edinburgh and come back, the publican was also from elsewhere in Scotland, and the others were all locals. I know it was filmed in Plockton, not far from some of my darling Alice's ancestral grounds (they were cleared from the wilds of Applecross many centuries back).

I can't browse happily without tabs anymore. If you have OS X, there is no reason for Galeon. There's Camino (formerly Chimera), another Gecko-based project.

Right now I use Camino about 80% of the time, Mozilla Firebird about 15% of the time and Safari only occasionally just to remind myself that it's still there. I'm a big fan of the Mozilla project and have supported it evangelically since its inception. Mozilla has been on my hard drive in one form or another since upgrading to OS X a couple years ago. I really love(d) Omniweb, but I refuse to pay for a browser when so many good free (beer, not speech) ones are available. I haven't used IE on a Mac since OS 9 when it was the best browser available for that particular OS. I installed Netscape 7 some time ago and uninstalled it not long after when I noticed that Mozilla and its various permutations were far superior (and much less bloated). I like Safari and would use it much more frequently but for three things: 1) I have hundreds of bookmarks in Camino and can't find any way of importing them into Safari. Ideally, I'd like to switch between the two browsers and be able to share my bookmarks. Anyone know of a utility that would let me do this? 2) Whenever I open the font preferences in Safari, I can't change the font attributes, nor can I go to any other preference panel until I throw away my plist file and restart Safari. Anyone else experience this problem? 3) Can Apple cut it with the brushed metal look on their iApps? Please? Or at least give users a few different skins that are sanctioned by the company?

I know that it's silly for OmniGroup to charge for OmniWeb, but it WILL work for free with occasional minor annoyances. OmniWeb is fantastic, the OmniGroup is quite cool and knows the OS really well, as they developed for NeXT before. OmniWeb as you may know was a NeXT browser. And now that they are using WebCore (?) it will be great again. Once it has tabs. :) > 3) Can Apple cut it with the brushed metal look on their iApps?

And don't worry about using the things. The brushed metal interface is actually an option for some apps, including Safari. It's basically an on/off switch that certain apps that change it are doing for you more easily. No harm done whatsoever. One reason I love Safari is because it is Cocoa, so all the Cocoa/emacs keystrokes work in it. - -Ken ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2003 21:43:08 -0500 From: Jeffrey with 2 Fs Jeffrey Subject: Re: V Quoting stevetalkowski@mac.com: > Hopefully, this will be cooler than the sequel and lame TV-series that > followed: > > http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/TV/06/09/television.visitors.reut/ WHen it first came out, I was hoping it was a filming of Thomas Pynchon's first novel...no such luck. ..Jeff J e f f r e y N o r m a n The Architectural Dance Society www.uwm.edu/~jenor/ADS.html :: Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb :: --Batman np: Grandaddy _Sumday_ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2003 21:47:46 -0500 From: Jeffrey with 2 Fs Jeffrey Subject: Re: Apple Thanks!

I've paid for OmniWeb *and* iCab, and I still prefer iCab over Safari (for the most part). Likewise, I've paid for Mulberry because it's the only GUI mailer that knows how to handle IMAP properly.

And I tell people the opposite all the time. Use the free software over the commercial, regardless of which is better suited for the job. There's no task more important than creating a world of abundance and freedom. So whatever you're trying to do with your software should take a backseat to those principles. The way you do things matters at least as much as what you do.
