Okay. Apology accepted.

Hopefully we can both benefit from the positive attributes of
'everything'. I prefer to see the water glass 'half full' instead of
'half empty', even though 'technically' it doesn't make any
difference.
Why did they call it 'Vista', btw.?


Don't know, Harry. I'm sure I did once upon a time, but if I did, it's gone.
But seeing as how fond of naming pre-release Windows versions after local
mountains, maybe they consciously or unconsciously invoked the experience of
being at the top of one! Seems to me 'Panorama' is a more dramatic term
though; 'Vista' sounds tame by comparison. But seeing as how long the BBC
current affairs program 'Panorama' has been running over here, calling the
OS that wouldn't have really worked. They should have called it 'Futurama'.
They could have had Bender as the animated Search character.
