Almond Roca is okay, but we ran across a small company making THE best, soft-creamy, English Toffee we'd ever tasted a few years ago & for a while we bought pounds of it to give to everyone in the family for Christmas & other celebrations - including ourselves, of course. But as the company grew in popularity, so did their prices & now we can only afford to buy a little here & there for ourselves which is too bad. As for that Macintosh Apple - good luck. I had to work on one a few years ago & it was so different from what I was used to, it was terribly frustrating. I'll stick to Microsoft as long as I can stay away from Windows 8.La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-83832244573297481552014-10-31T18:23:36.407+00:002014-10-31T18:23:36.407+00:00Brave or not, some of us might think you've go...Brave or not, some of us might think you've gone over to the dark side, Alan. Recently I had the identical frustration trying to manage a Mac that belonged to my father. It felt not unlike my first adventures behind the wheel of a British automobile. All backwards on the wrong side and with a different vocabulary to boot! <br />Happily, toffee does not require an operating system.Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-89175348416519696902014-10-31T17:17:00.085+00:002014-10-31T17:17:00.085+00:00Alan 'the Brave' - your new sobriquet?
