Tablets make it far easier to measure dose on over the counter medication than if supplied as powder. Thus the many brands of aspirin tablet, but it's hard to find analgesic headache powder.

wait a minute: they took those *out* of the landfill, rather than covering it i concrete, or calling in an air strike???
I'm going to do this with the Airs I bought for my kids to use at school.
Right after I trade in my Cadillac and some cash for a Kia. Then I'll pay more to trade in this Retina Pro for a Samsung tablet.

No one is ever influenced by advertising, ask around. People say "no, I'd never buy something because it's on TV" but those infomercials stay in business for a reason.
So polling people and asking them if advertising is effective on them is a bit of a red herring. Like IQ tests - logically half the world has IQs less then 100. Oddly, I've never met any of them.
Now the question 'is social advertising effective' is certainly open for debate, but not because some survey says people believe it's not effective on themselves.

I thought focus-follows-mouse would be the hardest thing about going from years of X back to a mac.
Turned out that text selection/paste is even harder . . .

Since I was around, it had to be sometime before mid-86 (likely summer 85. I think the family gatherings were July).
A cousin who worked for HP came by with a prototype (?) of a 68000 Unix luggable. It showed off by drawing a wire frame of the space shuttle and then,I believe, solidifying it, at an impressive speed for the time . . . (today, it would be done between frames, along with a couple of navies shooting at it . .

Better yet, hire a lawyer without MPD and follow his advice (or "her," if the specific lawyer is female).
Speaking as a lawyer, never, EVER higher a lawyer that can be referred to in the plural . . .

Why do you think I have dochawk.org, rather than dochawk.com?
I checked for dochawk.com. Available. Went to register the next day, and gone. Scratched my head.
Then I checked dochawk.net. Waffled a day, and it was gone.
So I just registered dochawk.org.
And then the bit elsewhere where they double-billed and held data hostge . . .

Don't forget double-billing your account each month, which triggers your credit card company to auto-cancel the fraudulent, err, second charge, and using *that* to cancel you for non-payment, while continuing to charge you each month, and demanding either a year's service contract or $100 to recover your backup . . .
not that they pulled that on me . . .

Actually, that's not it.
They've figured out that you're *wrong* about where you want to go, and will take you to the *right* place.
So welcome your new bus overlords . . .
