Clever dick.

There's a lot of things I wish I could un-see... how did they manage it?

I work for a school district and I once saw a lab of iMacs that had notes on them stating "Do not lick the screen".
Admin
I recall that when OS X was new, Jobs called the window controls "lickable".

YAY! Another opportunity to mention my favorite screen shot! (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techtales.com/tftechs.php?m=199801#151[url])

Addendum 2016-09-05 04:40: I definitively clicked the Submit button while typing into the Addendum text field. And didn't reloaded the page.
Okay, I switched to other browser windows to verify that the forgotten / in [/url] was my only mistake, so it is obviously my fault if the contents of the text field and some of the stuff outside the text field is submitted in this case.
Addendum 2016-09-05 04:42: I meant, I definitively didn't click the submit button before I actually wanted to submit what I wrote.
