    I am verklempt. 

    Consider that the company was nearly bankrupt 20 years ago. Jobs is surely smiling up there today. 
    I think he may have been an atheist or possibly a Buddhist...

    UPDATE:  Buddhist

    Das ist nicht "Buddhist"

    verklempt | fərˈklemt | 

    adjective North American informal overcome with emotion: she was all verklempt earlier this week over her latest split from her husband. 

    ORIGIN from Yiddish farklempt, from German verklemmt, literally ‘pinched, squeezed’.
    Um, no, Jobs was Buddhist, so the whole eternal ethereal “up in heaven, looking down” wouldn’t fall in line with non-eternal, multiple heavens and hells as well as rebirth/reincarnation.

    The definition of verklempt wasn’t being attributed to Buddhism.
    Sorry, My bad!

  • Don't run the iOS 12, macOS 10.14 Mojave betas if you value your data

    Mmm... Mojave is installed on my iMac 5K and the Fusion drive is now APFS...

    Seems to work OK, so far!

    I installed Mojave on an old 2GB LaCie drive connected wist USB... it takes a few minutes to boot, but once it gets going it runs pretty well on my iMac 5K.

    I’ve had very few problems and decided to bite the bullet.  My only concern is that I don’t want to be forced APFS on the iMac’s Fusion drive.

    I really don't care anymore what Wall Street does.   Frankly I'm happy that they have refocused on speed and stability.   

    To me anyway, this Keynote just felt a bit off.   It actually seemed more focused on the consumer end of the business then the developer end.   Maybe I need to releisten as I did drop in about 15 minutes late, even so it was like that old hamburg ad with the old woman asking "where the meat?".
    It did strike me that Tim and Craig were a little off their game, being not well rehearsed and being careful about what they were going to say.

    It was almost as if they redesigned the iOS and macOS presos at the last minute and had to expand the time spent on features with less umph!

    Did like the Siri Hypercar... er, ah, Shortcuts, tho!

    Weird. I thought they knocked it out of the park. A couple very minor flubs but overall, I thought everyone did an incredible job and sounded very well rehearsed. ¯\(°_o)/¯ 
    I see the flubs as possible evidence that the presentation kept changing until it was ready and things removed from the presentation may have thrown people off because rehearsals were changing.
     You said it better than I did!
