windows 7 I refer to . "charming in a childlike or naive way "
Took the release candidate for a test drive under parallels 4.0 on Mac OSX. It was a PITA to get the networking going, had to use XP compatibility mode.
So far the only app I've used is IE8 and that is snappy and the gestures on the mac trackpad work on. MOre later once I get a bit of a handle on it. c ya!

We've managed to get a little closer to the nub
"Investigators found “anomalies” in a track circuit near where a Washington Metro train crashed into another..."

Crashing is unsafe...
So today the NTSB appears to be blaming the DC train crash on an antiquated train. Apparently there wouldn't have been so many deaths if the train hadn't been so antiquated.

I say there'd have been no deaths if they hadn't crashed. The crash was the problem not the age of the trains.
Seems to me they should be figuring out what happened to the warning systems designed to prevent just such an accident.
