I'm pleased to see Mac news stories making their presence felt over here too, Simon.

Nice, as friendly as before but just a bit quicker… The Meeting Place is too much for me, by which I mean most of the threads are too long to follow, but I’ll be hanging around elsewhere if I’m needed.

That’s very thoughtful. Can’t say I’m too bothered but it’s always nice to be appreciated.

Interesting - maybe someone high up at Dennis want's to keep in touch with their old regulars

Either way, Welcome to you too, Simon - just said the same to Barry on another thread - Nice to be able to comment on the stories still, whether they're Apple or PC based and get comments from users from both sides of the 'hardware divide' 8-)

Never be surprised at the levels Apple's "Ministry of Truth" can stoop to.

Whenever I see this headline, I think that Apple cracked a poorly considered joke involving iTunes. Then I realised that some here consider iTunes a poorly considered joke in the first place.....
