Another day, another Mac question
 
Anyone have the key to how to unzoom web pages if you've inadvertently zoomed them with your magic mouse? I'm still getting the hang of that thing and the owner's manual only tells you how to zoom (which I've never meant to do, but I seem to do somewhat regularly), not how to unzoom. Fucking magic.

Command+ zooms in, Command- zooms out.

If you were a living, post-pubescent woman any time between 1986 and about 1998, I probably at least thought about it.

You apparently hit the Enter key too soon and forgot to include "crap, this is the board where I play the role of a heterosexual male" after the "Oh"

I'm not sure Boston has a real analogue of any kind (or can even be compared to other bands). For instance, Has anyone ever seen the members of Boston? I have no concept of what these people even look like. All I know is they seem to like spaceships.

And does any other band sound anything like Boston? The best I could come up with was Cheap Trick, but that doesn't hold because Cheap Trick is actually pretty good. Then I thought, Deep Purple? They're not very good. But other than not being very good, and attracting the same fan base (people who can remember masturbating to Barbi Benton's centerfold), do they really have much in common with Boston? No, they don't.

Boston is sui generis. A lot like J. Geils. Maybe it's a MA thing.

If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know.

Kansas.

And I'm surprised that you're not a Deep Purple fan -- in my experience, there is a strong overlap between the Deep Purple and Grateful Dead fan bases. Gotta be the love of the live extended drum solo.

Exactly. I was going to say Foreigner. Then, just for fun, I googled "Kansas Foreigner Boston" and found a band called "A Foreigner's Journey from Kansas to Boston." Guess the other band is that heavily influences them:

REO Speedwagon, Styx, Bachman Turner Overdrive.

There were a lot of bands with the same basic sound.

Funny. When I read that last sentence, my first thought was "but American Graffitti was the quintessential 70s movie, in the 70s.
