About Me
I am a MacUpdate Desktop user
Gender: Male
Yes, I was on the original Mac team and have worked for Apple three different times under five different leaderships. I was there when Steve left and I was there when he came back. I was even there a little in between. I am not there now.
My first Mac had a 5.25" floppy drive. (Pre-release) The OS was on 1 side and MacPaint or MacWrite was on the other.
I personally built 3 Lisa's out of spare parts - which became MacXL's once the Mac had its own development system, MPW (Macintosh Programmer's Workshop). (Until then, you needed a Lisa to write software for it.)
When my boss told me to "get this d@mn thing out of my office," referring to his Apple II, I took it home.
My Apple IIgs was personally signed by Woz.

2.2 didn't display the menu item under Lion, but at least it worked. This one does not work at all.

If you don't want bloated and overly invasive Adobe software (especially Adobe Air) on your machine use "Streaks" on an iOS device instead. Its cheaper, more stable and fits in your pocket.

Adobe Flash Player
I am more than happy to replace all the Flash on all of my sites with HTML5. In fact, that's what I do whenever I need to update one of them. Soon all of my 19 servers and 50+ virtual servers will be Flash free.
Aren't you (Adobe) glad that you made me update your damn player every other week?
Solitaire Forever
Bdfu reviewed on 30 Oct 2010
If I want to hear my fan all I have to do is launch this app.
Other than that, it's a good implementation of solitaire. Controls are quick and responsive and the graphics are fluid and sharp.
I have several solitaire games but this is the one that I always end up playing - even if it does burn a hole through my laptop.
