Little help here?
So I’m trying to figure out exactly what this blog will look like over the next couple of years. I’ve committed myself to putting some serious time into RLP. I thought maybe you could help me think about this.

I thought this thing was supposed to be easy.
I hope you’ve seen Pulp Fiction so this next part makes sense.
You know what the funniest thing about the Mac is? It’s the little differences. I mean, they got the same stuff over there that we got here, but it’s just, with a Mac, it’s a little different.
Example:
Well, the first time I started a program on the Mac, I couldn’t figure out where the menu was. There was a menu at the top of the screen called “Finder,” with the familiar file, edit, and view commands along with others, though clicking those wasn’t bringing up anything I understood. I saw a program called “TextEdit” on the dock, a shiny shelf at the bottom of the screen. I clicked it, and a text editing window came up. Cool. But it had no menu at all. I spent an hour opening programs with the finder window, but then having no idea how to run them. It was like there were no menus in this strange world.
“How the hell do these people open documents and save them and do all the stuff you have to do?”

My Latest Book
I’m proud to announce that Turtles All The Way Down came out in November of 2009. This was my first experience with the Consafo model of social media community publishing.
2000 copies were printed. We sold well over 500 as advance purchases or in the weeks leading up to Christmas. This paid for the printing costs completely.
Pulpy goodness!

I love the Pulp Fiction reference. I may even have missed it if you hadn't reminded me.
Some of your irritants are my biggest ones with my MacBook. The things I miss the most from my PC? The Home, End, PageUp, and PageDn keys. I really, truly NEVER realised how much I used those until confronted with the much more minimalist Mac version of the keyboard.
Screw you! function keys, says I.
