  1. I’m glad too, so tired of Apple making dumb changes on the UI to what was a stellar user experience, just for the sake of ‘change’.

    1. I could not agree with you more, James.

      They have achieved symmetrical PERFECTION and willy nilly messing with design that is NOT BROKEN is just Foking STUPID!!!
