And reading everyones reaction was coffee that made the sweet go down.<br /><br />D-O That new Mac decision was quick. I'm glad you are mostly enjoying it. They are visually very appealing... <br /><br />For folks with an iPad, get a Logitech keyboard for it. It's a bit small, but for us touch typists, it's almost mandatory. This post in on a iPad/Logitech. <br /><br />Bill G - I'm glad Esquire hasn't met DW. Even going into hear 40's (she's gonna kill me for that), she's the sexiest woman alive.<br /><br />Re: CADRE - I always thought that was the group being taught not the folks in charge. I was in ROTC in HS (got me an extra stripe <i>and</i> punnishment in Basic), and we were the CADRE. Either way, c/a fits.<br /><br />And, just because I'm a dumb-dumb, I spelled the horse as SEABuSCUIT. ISEE fell very late.<br /><br />Cheers, -TAnonymous Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459563526290288425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-57080666528706177292013-10-07T21:34:16.773-05:002013-10-07T21:34:16.773-05:00Well, Hondo, the Rays just got one back....

Aren't you a Naval Academy grad? I've seen the word in our local paper used with stories of the local high school ROTC program. I had never heard of high school ROTC before I moved to this city.

I hope you enjoy your new iMac. I'm sure it will take a little getting-used-to. An earlier iMac of mine used to have a Forward delete key to delete characters to the right of the cursor. When I got my newer iMac with a smaller, wireless keyboard, I missed having that key. I think there are more sophisticated solutions including buying a new full-size keyboard but here is a simple solution that I just discovered by searching after reading your post. Hold down the 'fn' key at the lower-left of your keyboard while hitting Delete.
