Yes, it's nice to hear that our customers care about the practical side of technology as well. And it's good to have the candid conversations, which is why we have tech blogs in addition to our "marketing content". Thanks to those who pointed me to the mechanism for putting a tech blog into the CodeProject blog stream; I'll use that mechanism from now on when referring to my own stuff.

Way too easy. Definitely Computers 101 material here...

That was my first computer, too - the TI-99/4A!! The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
