Don't cut the grass too short either! |
Thanks for the advice Taf, I was hoping the weedkiller would do the job, it kills everything bar the grass apparently.

It's got some very quirky stuff. Copy a folder to your desktop, and it'll appear half on/half off screen. They messed about by changing a file move to a file copy. They've murdered Textedit, which no longer has a 'save as option', and will kindly save an edited document under the original name when you close texedit without saving. There's lots of little niggles and things that appear to have changed for the sake of it. It feels wrong, as if it hasn't had the attention to detail that's needed.
