If you search the medical literature for “D Counsell”—type “Counsell-D [AU]” into the search box here—half the papers returned have my name on them; the other half carry the name of an anaesthesiologist who didn’t drop out of medical school. Today someone emailed the wrong D J Counsell to offer him a temporary consultant anaesthetics post. I recommend that PooterGeekers living in the Lincolnshire area avoid going under the knife at a local hospital during the next couple of months. Muah-ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha-ha ha!

Eek, Damian! What have you done? This website comes out very weird and nigh on unreadable on my cobweb-hung old Mac G4? The orange / amber is nice but there is a lot of it.
!
Orange and amber? There isn’t any in my design (apart from the little RSS icons). What Web browser are you using, George?
I laughed! The site comes out two shades of lavender, very nice they are too. I’m on aol, does that make a difference?
Looks OK to me, and I’m using a Powerbook G4 running Safari. And “two shades of lavender” is a pretty fair description of what I can see.
Incidentally, have you ever read John Collee’s A Paper Mask? It was also filmed - not badly, as I recall, but the book is better, if only because it goes into far scarier detail about just how easy it is for someone to impersonate a doctor and get away with it.
G4? G4? A 2GHz Intel Core Duo iMac with Firefox is the only kit meaty enough to render PooterGeek in all it’s 3D glory.
Yes, but I can’t take it with me on the train, can I?
(When I trashed my Powerbook a few months ago, I had to borrow a 15-inch model from work, and even that was too big for what I wanted)
Mind you, I can’t access the Web from the train either, so this is a bit academic.
So you won’t be wanting one of them (horribly named) MacBook Pros then? Hey - the Apple Store is offline as I type - perhaps they’re about to release a 12” model just for you.
Moderation? Moderation? PooterGeek’s loathing of all things Apple is getting out of hand…
I’d love a MacBook Pro, horrible name be damned - but not until they release a 12” model. Oh, and until I can actually spare the cash - something tells me a part-exchange wouldn’t save me that much…
I’ve never even heard of it, but it sounds like it might be very useful to me…

[…] George Szirtes complained recently of PooterGeek looking even weirder than usual on his old Mac. His problem was solved by installing the free version of this Web browser. It also improved his experience of various other sites compared with the way they looked under Internet Explorer—not surprising given that IE is software written by bum-heads. […]
