Of course not! People die when oranges are in the scene.

Sounds like they're only serving Apples at this time.

The Godfather. Oranges and death are often in the same scenes. Brando gets shot while buying oranges. He has his fatal heart attack after putting an orange peel in his mouth to scare his grandson.
It's something movie geeks would get. Sorry for being obscure.

I was just referring to the 'super terrific happy hour' Seinfeld episode where they bring oranges to the Japanese TV execs...

Happy Magic Trackpad user here without JTouch - haven't felt the need.Shooshie wrote:mythicwave wrote:In my case, I had to buy a "magic" trackpad which I never wanted.
That's hard to believe. (that you never wanted a Magic Trackpad) The Magic Trackpad is the greatest input device I've ever used. Get a 3rd party system prefs panel called JiTouch, and you'll have a world of shortcuts open up to you which makes the Magic Trackpad like a trackball with a hundred buttons. After a while, it's like your hand speaks sign language to the mac, which understands and responds to it.
Kensington quit making my favorite trackball, so I'd started collecting old ones for parts. I was so committed to the old "Expert Mouse Pro" (wireless) that I couldn't imagine living without it. Then I got a Magic Trackpad. Within one day I had put my trackball in a closet, and I haven't looked at it since.

Any breathings yet on the approximate release date of DP for Windows?

Re: Where is the Windows Version?
Unless you know the fat lady personally, nobody is hearing her sing. The only slight inkling I got was at the LA launch event when we were told the Windows release would likely coincide with the release of the .01 update to the Mac version. Considering the difficult problems we've encountered and heard about on this board, I would assume that MOTU is working hard to fix this stuff. I would also imagine that getting it to work well on the PC with that initial launch is also paramount. Nothing is worse for word of mouth than a "new" app not working well and being buggy.heisenberg wrote:Any breathings yet on the approximate release date of DP for Windows?
My best guess would be Dec or Jan 2013 but it could come in the spring of 2013. Nobody who knows is telling - probably because even MOTU doesn't really know at this point, at least, that's my best guess.
And now I've told you more than I know...
