Oh, now THAT’S annoying … !

I’ve got to reset my Apple ID!

Let’s move on, shall we … ?

Lets: before my irritation gets the better of me … !

Now, if you’ll excuse me … ?

I’m going to reset my id … !

*        Actually, neither, Debbi: much as I’d like to look cultural and say Yes.   No, it’s the name of the system voice I prefer using: OS X has about 10 of them … !   I used Bruce on my original G4 tower: when I got Bruce, I defaulted to Alex: and got the names mixed up.   Which possibly sounds strange: admitting I’ve get the voices mixed up … !   (Benny Bernassi’s Satisfaction uses a couple of the other voices: Vicki and the (real) Bruce voice.   I’m just not going to show the video: it’s a bit TOO distracting for this time of the morning … … … !!)
