What a lovely shoutout. You always make me feel momentarily famous 😆
I did feel some remorse about Jami Pad’s ornamental status, so I fired it up and treated it to some lovely app updates that had accumulated 😂
As for keyboard and mouse, I did have Apple ones but found I made too many typing errors and found the inconsistent mouse scroll very counter productive. I bought the same Logitech ones after seeing and hearing about them on After Hours (RIP 🥺) and have never looked back. I also use Logi Options + to customise 😁
Funny you should mention the Office update TT. Had the same thing last week for some error reporting app (forgot official name) that hadn’t been updated since 2012 … which was 3 years before I even bought a Mac 😂. A nice simple deletion made my updater lovely and clean after 😌
I have lived in Scrivener since I bought it in 2021 (also due to AH). I do use it for what it was built for, but most of my time since buying it have been for uni assignments. I do feel it can and should be used to practically all types of writing outside of code/markdown. Couldn’t ever be without it.
Another wonderful show as always. Looking forward to the next one TT promises here 😏 (yes, I noticed).
Elaine, you mentioned that house plants during this podcast. That got me thinking as to whether the lavender, et cetera, that I sent you a couple of years back are still of this earth or not. How are they doing at MacBites headquarters?
Do you really need to ask? RIP 🪦
Seriously, they lasted over a year but Manchester weather isn’t really conducive for longevity!
😢
