Shell Out for a Real M
It bugs me that on my keyboard, Ms are just upside-down Ws. And 6s are upside-down 9s.
Maybe a 6 is an upside-down 9, but an M isn't an upside-down W.
You'd think Apple would have the money and talent to render a real M. It just seems chintzy.

is it a laptop? because my iMac has a real "M" and a real "W." but, yeah, it seems like something that should be accurately portrayed.

Yes, it's a laptop. The cheapest Mac laptop. Maybe that's one way they cut corners. I should be grateful I have one at all. It's such a rarefied kingdom. When I pull out my Mac in a coffee shop I feel like a prize jerk.

why should you feel like a "prize jerk" for owning a macbook? Is it some sort of reverse snobbery? i.e., you usually hate all things fashionable, and because of the ipod, apple is hyper-fashionable, but subject to a backlash, therefore, you hate yourself for owning an apple product? Would you still feel like a jerk if it had been a gift?
And, I hate to contradict you, though I love to contradict in general: I don't think there's any problem with the way the M is rendered, even if it is a flipped W. I hadn't noticed until you pointed it out...
And while I'm being contrary, what are the bugs with the new blogger? I have not encountered them.
If you had wanted to keep logging in with the name you enjoyed, you could have created a new google account with that name...
Sadly, as you posted this some time ago, you may never discover this comment.

Good lord. I feel like I'm on the witness stand. You're going to be a formidable lawyer!
Maybe it is reverse snobbery, or shame for conspicuous consumption. Macs cost a ton and are the laptops of choice among the trust-funders in my neighborhood. Do ya think I want to be one of their number?
I don't hate all things fashionable. What about my (tireless) efforts to look snappy and up to date? And I'd have an iPod if I could afford one.
You do love to contradict, but it's not contradicting to say you don't think there's anything wrong with the Apple M. It's a difference of opinion. You can't sneak that one by me.
what's up with the all-lower-case? is that a law school thing?
I didn't know all that about Google Blogger which is the main reason I never have anything 'fashionable' -- sheer ignorance.
Sadly, you will never read this response.

I must have been high -- beckett didn't use all lower-case. He used all init. caps except for the first 2 sentences of pgh. 1.
I've been proofreading too long.
