    Old Tool OTD: Name a tool or app that you used to use regularly, but stopped using. QuickView Plus was one of my favorites. Not sure why I stopped using it or why it came to mind.

                  I once came across a spreadsheet tool that was way better than Excel. It had infinite rows and columns and you can do multi-freezed rows so that one section stayed on top until the next section was in view to replace it. I couldn't remember where I saw that though.

                          Thinking about it, there were loads of 'em back in the DOS days: "BRIEF - the Programmer's Editor", "XTree Gold", "Norton Utilities" (before they were sold to Symantec), "MASM", ... all damn good.

                            Oh YES! BRIEF was great. I liked PC Tools, it allowed me to have multiple desktops inside Windows for WorkGroups.

                                If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

                                          Old Tool OTD: Name a tool or app that you used to use regularly, but stopped using. QuickView Plus was one of my favorites. Not sure why I stopped using it or why it came to mind.
