However; remember that Mr Slugworth (played by Gunter Meissner, with the 
wonderful craggy face) was really workng for
Willy Wonka (played by Gene Wilder) all the time.

I assure you my increasing love for Ubuntu and disenchantment with the 
way Mac is going is not dictated by the fact that
I cannot afford a new Mac.

I am happy with my PPC mini, running 10.4; and would, if I could, get a 
Mac running 10.5. But after that I think things began to go wonky
(rather than 'Wonka').

I do NOT really like Unity; so run Ubuntu 12.04 with Avant Window 
Navigator doing 90% of the work the old GNOME 2 panel did.

I have got the Launcher 'thing' (almost as bad as the Mac system 7 
launcher) out of the way as best I can by setting it to hide via
dconf editor.

Livecode runs like a charm.
