This machine has so far impressed us -- especially when it comes to comparing against the iMac Pro. If you are in the new market, and don't need the upgradability of the iMac Pro, this is a powerful machine that gets you near the same performance at a much lower cost.

"Upgradability of the iMac Pro"? What upgradability would that be?

You can't even add RAM to the iMac Pro, at least not without almost complete disassembly and throwing your warranty out of the window in the process. 

It's always seemed to me that Apple's lack of love for the iPad Mini reflects the same sentiment on the part of the buying public. How often does anyone see the iPad Mini out in the wild? The lower price and smaller size may make it nice for kids, but other than that...

For those of us who are not Twats Twitter users, does that mean we'd need a Twitter account to stream the event?

"Add period with double space."  Apple knows what's up: people who add only a single space after a period should be given 40 lashes with a wet noodle.

Wrong, both in typography and in comprehension of what iOS actually does.

Rapidly typing two spaces in iOS will add a period followed by a single space, as it should be. Due to the use of monospaced fonts, which benefitted from that additional visual cue, a double space after the period used to be normal practice for material produced on a typewriter. However books, magazines, newspapers and other professionally typeset and printed materials were able to use proportionally spaced typefaces and so didn't need to use the clumsy extra space.

Following the Desktop Publishing revolution of the 1980's we all use proportionally spaced typefaces for most purposes, and therefore do not and should not double space after periods. 

If only someone would find DED a decent editor and proofreader to reduce these rambling, haystack articles to their needle-worth of content.
