Please please please change your ipad theme. If I wanted to be punched in the face by my browser I’d be running Windows Explorer.

I had great hopes for that iPad theme. :-( Now. Disabled.

Are you sure you don’t mean hexahedral, not hexagonal? True, the ancient Greeks tended to be rather unpractical, but I don’t think even they would have tried to use a plane figure rather than a solid on the ends of an axle.
