KR> when a new version comes out, i can usually have it up and

 BL> The only problem I have with PQWK is trhat Paul brings out a
 BL> new version every week, but I have had so much experience now
 BL> that I can change the system while it's sending the mail! My
 BL> record for changing (from v181 to v182... it's now up to v221)
 BL> is 17.2 seconds. 30 minutes sounds like a lot to me. :-)

 KR> 17.2 seconds, you must type real fast!

  Alright... so I lied. It was 22.7 seconds.

 KR> by the time that you have changed directories, unzipped it etc,
 KR> you must be a blur of action (-8 it takes me 30 min because i
 KR> dont copy the new software over the old, i copy the whole lot,
 KR> messagebase and all, into a new directory then install into
 KR> that. 25 years in the computer game has taught me to be very
 KR> wary of software updates, especially minor ones (-8

  A realist! Don't tell Paul, but I do the same.

 BL> I guess I plot knowledge versus time... what you do use on the
 BL> horizontal axis of your "steep" curve?

 KR> no the vertical axis is effort, and the horizontal is
 KR> achievment.

  No time? I have always assumed that the drongo who coined the phrase
"steep learning curve" knew more about mountain climbing than
graphical analysis.

 KR> ... I'd rather look out from the ppoint than wallow in QWKsand.

... And I'd *still* rather p on a wall than ppoint.
