I bought my WAHL beard trimmer almost 10 years ago.

Some of you may think this is a joke, given my sparse growth. It is no joke.

I used my dear WAHL so much - I relied on it. Shaping, smoothing, and for the last few years it kept a perfect length on my pseudo-beard.

But this morning, for the first time for the last time, I dropped him. He hit the tiles, and shattered into a million (or two) pieces. Tiny bits of plastic smashed apart, never to be joined again.

And in an instant, he is gone.

What a crapper of a way to end the year.

Reactions to Gruber: Fun With Gruber's Nitpicking

What I find interesting about the original article, which John referenced, but your rebuttal (conveniently?) ignored, is the statement “PC manufacturers are dominant in the tablet space”, which I believe is at best erroneous, if not downright misleading.

I’m only having fun with this: is Apple somehow not a manufacturer of personal computers? Or do they no longer make computers and just make electronic devices which may or may not resemble personal computers?

Yeah - that’s a fair point.

High-School Pop.

Probably the 688 from Olinda-Croydon.

The Sugargliders - Will We Ever Learn (by everyheaven)

“Why should I swap this thing - trade in a life empiric for some life as predictable as a tired Mark Seymour lyric?”

They’re holding true….

Reactions to Gruber: Fun With Gruber's Nitpicking

johngruber:

Gruber’s extended rant on U.S. tablet sales is very amusing. I get the feeling, reading it, his entire problem stems from the fact that the article treats “2nd place” in the tablet market as where all the interesting action is, instead of spending the entire article talking about how great the…

So yeah.

I’m definitely not aiming to get into a nit-pick here - I applaud a strong counter-thought, especially to a voice as ‘loud’ as @gruber. Keep it up.

What I find interesting about the original article, which John referenced, but your rebuttal (conveniently?) ignored, is the statement “PC manufacturers are dominant in the tablet space”, which I believe is at best erroneous, if not downright misleading.

That was the take-away point I got from John’s article.

Hugs all round
