Dear Carma,
thanks for that - I particularly like the references to the "gray
background with the unmistakable texture of fine linen" that Jobs,
apparently urged "software designers to use . . . liberally".
I call to this grey linen stuff "Steve Job's underpants" and it
irritates me every time I see it.

Steven P. Jobs, the Apple chief executive who died a year ago, pushed
the company*s software designers to use the linen texture liberally in
the software for the company*s mobile devices.

As a follow-up to an earlier conversation: Apple may soon cease using
skeuomorphic graphics on its devices. See
