Ahh. I see where you are coming from now. I remember everyone screaming, "It's junk". After I checked it out mysefl, I realized they were in error and had actually meant to scream, "I don't get this".

I can get them screaming at it though. I still scream that phrase where the early Component Object Model stuff is concerned.

They did.

Youtube is completely unwatchable at this point. More ads than content. If I wanted that, I'd turn on a TV.

Sip by sip, I feel my relax-o-meter rise. Once the glass is empty, I will be in a nice place. My only annoyance being the Gregorian chant coming from the living room. Need to replace that with some Jazz or something. The only Latin I want to hear tonight is percussion-based.

@japchap I'm trying to avoid them mainly because I am not fond of the business model. I could deal with it if their license management were as straightforward as Microsoft's with their Azure stuff. (ie: I can control instantly what machines can access what instantly without picking up a stupid phone)

All I am looking for is decent software for freehand drawing and painting on dedicated tablets.

That actually sounds pretty good.

@kdfrawg Oh. You'd have to burn it down and start over again. Blame the 24hr "News" cycle.

It's hard to believe it's guys our age or older who can remember when the News was at 6:00PM weekdays with local news, once again, at 11:00PM..Then it was either the Tonight show, an old movie or the star spangled banner followed by static.

@kdfrawg Well, most of my little circle are Independent or Libertarian. They view news the same as I do. Pablum delivered to the masses by women vacuum-packed in dresses and coated with hairspray or smarmy men in cheap suits.

Bimbograms and Douche Dispatches.

Bring back the David Brinkley / John Chancellor days and I'll pay attention to it again.

@kdfrawg And it's a situation entirely of their own making. One graph you'll never see is the one for Independents. I suspect it is very, very green.

@kdfrawg Sounds like a bunch of PageMaker stuff at the office. Ancient and totally useless as nothing can properly convert it.

Not that it is needed anymore. I keep it around as a reminder to long-term store things in as open a format as possible.
