From the filing cabinet
On a typical day, I scan over a thousand post and article titles. I read the ones that look interesting and file them. I use a few for the blog but I can’t put them all up so I have accumulated a large number of interesting links in my files. They are worth reading and I am going to list some of them for your end-of-summer enjoyment. They are some months old but still valid. Here is the first batch:

Some good stuff there, thanks.
Maybe the OS doesn’t matter if you only use the web anyway. But some of us don’t do absolutely everything in “the cloud”, and some of us I suspect never will. We still care what OS we run.
We will probably become the forgotten few very soon…..
