Hey Nancy!

> It only has to be "user-friendly" to the one actually using it.

Very much so in this case except I tend to think of it all as very
"user-unfriendly" and anyone who has seen it in action would
probably agree with that assessment.

> Whatever works for you is useful

Yes.  Mostly it has been an attempt to keep the grey cells functional. Not
sure if it has succeeded in doing that, or the cells would have fired in
spite of all this, but I believe it has.

> As opposed to the "normal" practice of always going after the
> newest and "greatest"?

All I ever wanted is what I believed is possible.  Some of the gizmoes are
newfangled and in their defense I can only say that they got me to where I
wanted to be computerly specaking.  Things like flash disks and hot
swapping drive(s) were a real boon to me personally.

> The more experiments you make the better.

Agreed, especially the successful ones.  Mind you even the 'turkeys' have
enlightenment if you learn from them.

Life is good,
Maurice
