  • My son, the nerd

    Me:
    Hey Thomas!
    you there?

    Thomas:
    hey What?

    Me:
    how are you?

    Thomas:
    good

    Me:
    Keynote was really cool this morning.

    Thomas:
    cool

    Me:
    They made Safari work on Windows

    Thomas:
    awww

    Me:
    and the new version is available – apple.com/safari

    Thomas:
    Finally!

    Me:
    you can download it

    Thomas:
    FINALLY!
    I’m going to wait for the full version

    Me:
    you won’t be able to use it

    Thomas:
    oh

    Me:
    unless we can install Leopard

    Thomas:
    ok

    Me:
    we should install Tiger on your computer
    I think you need it for safari

    Thomas:
    The beta version?

    Me:
    Leopard doesn’t come out until October
    yeah
    it will say on the website

    Thomas:
    I want Leopard
    !

    Me:
    it’s still beta,
    and will eat up your memory,
    but I got a new disc of it,
    it’s got a hologram on it

    Me:
    I don’t think it will work

    Thomas:
    ok

    Me:
    I’m trying to remember what else they showed.
    there’s a new Finder – it looks like iTunes.

    Thomas:
    aw

    Me:
    and the new dock is awesome – 3D

    Thomas:
    danget.
    oooo.
    wow.

    Me:
    hmmm, what else.
    they demo’d the iPhone.
    and told us a way to write software for it.
    but it’s totally lame.
    (writing software for it)

    Thomas:
    lol

    Me:
    you have to do it on a web page.
    I have one more session today in 20 minutes.
    I always wish that I could bring you with me to WWDC.
    I think you’d really like it.

    Thomas:
    yeah.
    I’m watching a video about the new desktop.
    ooo

    Thomas:
    trasparent finder

    Me:
    transparent menus, yes.
    I don’t like that much actualy.
    I don’t like the new Finder, either.
    Web Clip works a lot better now.

    Thomas:
    I like the new dock

    Me:

    Thomas:
