80% of Americans think the country would better off if more manufacturing was done here but only 25% would actually take those jobs.

Today I extensively used my 4th-gen iPod Touch running iOS 6.1.6, and once again I was reminded of how I love that UI.

A few short notes (small thread):

1. Say what you want about this era's Notification Centre, but I loved the linen background with the subtle embossing. I loved the ability (which I used back when it worked) to send a quick tweet from here. I never cared about stocks, but it's cool to see them looping here.

Just added tablet device support to @mac84tv 's Quadra QEMU startup file and wow! That reduces the scrolling frustration.

Get the drivers from here: https://github.com/elliotnunn/classicvirtio/releases/tag/latest and drop declrom into your quadra directory,

Add two lines to the startup command file:

-device nubus-virtio-mmio,romfile=declrom \
-device virtio-tablet-device \

underneath the -bios line and you have smooth mouse pointer movement in and out of the Quadra window!
