Ask me how smart I am...
11.06.2007
...or how paranoid, depending on your point of view.
So, I was thinking about what a horrible thing it is too lose all your bookmarks, if your computer crashes, etc. And I always forget how to transfer them to a new computer. Plus, you know...I'm lazy. Whatever.
Anyhoo, I have a handy-dandy screen capture widget on my Dashboard and it occurred to me that if I opened up my "show all bookmarks" tab on Safari, I could capture it and save it as a document. Excellent!
I don't know if there is a Windows equivalent, especially in terms of ease, but capturing all my bookmarks took about, oh let's say, 2 minutes. Tops. Another reason Macs rule?? Yup, pretty much.
Wanna see an example?? Okay! :-D (Sorry it's kinda small - click it for BIG.)
Sure, there may be a gazillion other people who thought of this first but allow me to bask in the glow of my mighty brainpower for just a second before bursting my bubble. ;-)
Speaking of who may or may not rule...I love this commercial:
Kitteh from ICHC, of course.

Cindy - there are bunches of the commercials with those cows but that one is my fave. :-D I can see the expressions on their faces just by listening to the voices.
I don't think I could explain about widgets even if you wanted me to. All I know is there are a gazillion of them available for download at apple.com and I surf by and download the ones that look interesting. Just think of them as very simple programs that hide until you click a button.
I'm still trying to figure out what 'widgets' are. No, don't explain, someone else already tried and then I feel stupid. And well, lazy? She's always there ;)
Awwwww, I haven't seen that commercial. Course I tivo everything and haven't watched commercials in months if not the last year!!
