I'm not supposed to mention the day job on this blog (it's one of my unwritten rules: not to talk about what I'm working on at this moment). But I'm making a rare exception here.
I've just completed a book concept for the AA in readiness for the Frankfurt Book Fair next week.
I designed a lot of books for the AA back in the 90s, but then we lost touch (as you do). And now we've reconnected - which is nice, because they feel like old friends.
Anyway, they're looking for a co-publisher for 'On the Beaten Track'. Wish it luck.
Turns out that Peter was right: it was the display setting in System Preferences > Universal Access. Funnily enough I was at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store (who also identified the fault straight away) when I got an email telling me that Peter's comment had come in. So, thanks Peter (and Corey): nice to see that there are more than just the usual suspects that read this here blog.
And thanks to Apple, too. It's a sad fact that we've become accustomed to appalling levels of customer service from large organisations. But no-fuss, friendly help and advice - ooh, I could get used to that. And of course it means that when this computer gets replaced, the next one will be an Apple - just as it's many, many predecessors have been. (Some lessons to be learned there, NatWest, since I'm still waiting - more than three months later - for you to sort that card reader that you insist I have to have.)
