Apple of my Eye

Dear Steve Jobs,

After careful observation of my two year-old’s use of our house iMac, I would like to suggest a new addition to the Finder menubar that you may include in your next update of OS X. (The only remuneration I request is that you name this version Maine Coon Cat after my dearly departed pet.)

As part of your drive to make computers breathtakingly easy for managing one life and iLife, I think you’ll appreciate how this new menu will save parental users hours of reading through software manuals and fruitlessly calling on the Geek Squad, as well as in the prevention of nervous breakdowns. See my suggestion below, complete with the full slate of pull-down options:

Undestroy
Mom’s Photos
Dad’s iTunes Library
Preferences Settings
Login password
Reboot disc for restoring password
Browser bookmarks
Program storing all account passwords
All data related to finances
Keyboard
Mouse
Audio Jack for sound system
Software, starting with most expensive
Scanner
Printer
Patience

I look forward to seeing these changes on my new laptop that’s now kept on the top shelf in my closet and is only used during nap times and after toddler bedtime.
