I abominate Harry Potter, but do enjoy games in which interlocking bricks and minifigures are simulated. blockcad.net is a fun program, though I wish a Linux/*BSD version was available.
In an era of intractably, interminably reductive design, those diminishments you've bemoaned were probably inevitable. What concerns me is the seeming fragility of these TVs, and I can't be convinced that those twain, trestled legs are as steady as the broad, thick, oblate or subtending bases of palpably rugged, older models. When borders, bases and body are restored to affordable sets, I'll buy another.
Thanks! As I usually update hebdomadally, my markup must be as accessible as possible. Only the dictionary's formatted in 4.01 to accommodate its CC license button; I fully meditate to maintain everything else in 3.2. BTW, I like your design and essays...
"Essays"? Oh, you really know how to flatter a person! Most of the pages on my site are very light in terms of subject matter, though on occasion I will put up something a bit longer if I feel like it.
Just as adamantly as they cushion their users from any hint of insight to a computer's actual functionality and potential, so intractably has, does and shall Apple irreducibly infantilize and simplify everything from interface to terminology so to popularize and peddle their extortionately overpriced, chintzy junk. Yuck!
