Speaking of which: I often wonder about the correctness of Apple Computer's
'Think different'. In UK English it should be 'Think differently', if I'm
not mistaken. Is this correct US English?

PS to get back on topic: my '88 90q passed its annual Dutch inspection
(APK) yesterday. It needed some gun gum for the exhaust (guess I'll be
needing a different system before long) and a licence plate  illumination
bulb. Not bad for a car I hadn't even inspected since I bought it almost a
year ago.
