It's still rare to find traders in the USA willing to ship items here. So I'm happy with the thing I found today on Amazon: a waterproof, shock-resistant case for the 6th gen iPod Touch. Price: US$19.60, including postage. ETA here: March 16.

Strange how freezing a product can change the taste. A particular coffee-flavoured milk has a slight coconut taste in the background when served cold. Yet, when frozen & mostly thawed, it has a peppery taste. Of the two, I prefer the latter.

@thrrgilag Happiness is a warm pussy.

Today Gary Rosenzweig at Macmost.com released a YouTube video demonstrating how to use Terminal to change the location where screenshots are saved on a Mac. I tried it & it works quite well. But I don't need that method to achieve the same outcome.
Once upon a time (sometime between 2005 & 2007) I acquired a preference pane called (very imaginatively!) Screenshots. With this you can save screenshots to any one of 12 different formats Screen Shot 2017-03-03 at 05.45.27.png and vary the location as you desire.
Naturally, that Preference Pane is no longer available, but I can report that it still works under Sierra 10.12.3.

You may need a new dictionary. Repeal has been used out of context.

Those two T6 screws are from an old HDD: They replaced others that were lost in the carpet pile last time I replaced the drive.

Operation successful. Pre-unibody MB Pro now boots from a SanDisk SSD instead of the faulty Kingston one. The hardest part of the swap was locating a T6 torx screwdriver.

@kdfrawg I'd pay good money to see that……

Why do I think 'gerbil' when I see the written word 'global?'

Done it, the deal was too good to resist: my spare mobile phone plan was sitting at $10.05 on the pay-as-you-go prepaid rate, when data is used, it's charged at 5c per MB ($51.20 per GB) and is meant for very casual usage. But I'll need more and in just under 40 hours, the deadline for the carrier's special 1-year Super Pack ends.
The deal is available for existing customers who recharge online before 5pm on Friday. It costs $249, includes all the national calls & SMS plus a very generous 42 GB of data: that equates to 3.5 GB per month for a shade over $20 per month.
