Re: OT - Twitter
I know that in Firefox if menus are turned off or hidden there's a couple of spots on the remaining tool bars you can right click to "customize" and turn the menus back on. You just have to keep right clicking until you find one of those sweet spots. Chrome may do the same thing.

If it works anything like Firefox, you turn all of them off and see if that makes the problem goes away. Then turn them back on one at a time until the problem comes back.

Re: OT - Twitter
Ok - here's the thing... I figured that with PDML, FAcebook (especially my words with friends)crossword games lists, cafepress, ebay, etc Twitter would just be something else to remember to look at and I'm not sure i did it right anyway... the thing is.. I can't even get on now to get off of it :-( I'm getting a refusal from google chrome to get me there (much like refusals to go to dropbox) so I tried to log in on firefox.. I did the "I forgot my password" thing, didn't get email - and yes I checked my spam folder. what's a girl to do? Is there a voice help thing somewhere? I'm @annsaniam (I think) and when I did log in it says Ann Sanfedele@annsaniam. I don't really understand #tags, either. suggestions any twitteries? Of course I did get on just hoping it would somehow help my getting more exposure for me to make money and occasinally to get into the conversation on NPR. ann the easily confused On 5/22/2014 14:20, Steve Cottrell wrote: On 22/5/14, P.J.

There's one thing I can say about the OED that I can't say about >twitter, no dross. The point is your statement that you have "read Twitter" is as valid as the student's claim to have read the OED. For every academic who uses the OED there is indeed plenty of superfluous material (and, yes, even errors), as far as far as his/her individual area of expertise is concerned, but they have the sense not to dismiss the whole simply because they aren't interested in some of the parts. The Twitter feeds I follow include the Paris Review and the London Review of Books. Both frequently have useful and concise pointers to articles that I would otherwise miss. And never any dross.

Re: OT: Twitter client for Mac OS X
I use Twitter to follow news, e.g., pentaxusers, leica_camera, japanexposures, naraneko (Portuguese) and some photographers who 'tweet'. I guess I could use other ways to follow the news, but I got used to this method. BTW, I am sure that I have nothing important to say, so I don't 'tweet' (I have made seven 'tweets' exchanged with my only allowed follower, my older brother :-) My opinion about these kind of 'social networks', if anyone cares, is that they are a loss of my precious time, but I presume some people find them useful. I prefer socializing in a 'café' drinking a coffee (Portuguese/Italian version), beer, wine, plain water, etc :-) On Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 21:34, P. J.
