Gary Lee-Nova says September 15, 2021 at 9:27 pm “Alexa Dear” is a laff riot. After unpacking a new iMac in early January, I felt like a stranger in a very strange environment. My iMac that died was about ten years old and was running OSX called El Capitan. The purchase of a new computer started out with a BIG SUR OSX and has changed a couple of times since. No more OSX. It is now OS eleven. Is the Roman Numeral convention for that number OSIX? If so, there appears to be some kind of linguistic and semantic drift taking place. Maybe adding a dash would disambiguate the semiotics of operating system eleven: OS-IX? The keyboard is eleven inches wide, and the wireless blue-tooth mouse appears to be some kind of unfunny joke. I use a 14.5-inch keyboard that lights up and a wheel mouse, something I’ve used for a couple or more decades. As for “Alexa,” which is one of a few other new flavours of a new 27-inch iMac, Axela is an insult to my intelligence.
