Don, You place a very negative connotation on bureaucracies; unfairly so.
Energy without form is chaos. Form without energy is death. It's a *question of balance* (thanks to the Moody Blues!). Having a folder hierarchy for 20GB of disc space hardly consitutes a bureaucracy. It is the norm on every computer I have ever seen. The virtual freedom that we love so much would not exist without computer architecture, bureaucratic Universities that train our technicians, electricity grids etc etc. BrianB2. --- In [email protected], "Don Lindberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Brian, > I'm sorry, but it all sounds like a lot of work for TJ, with minor benefit. > Sure there would be more structure, but keep in mind bureaucracies have a > lot of structure too, and we all know how valuable THEY are!! }:>) My > feeling is yes it is a hassle to search through and look at all these > different areas, but I have stumbled on some great ideas while looking for > something else. > > IMHO > Don Lindberg > -------Original Message------- > > From: brian.z123 > Date: 09/15/06 18:43:45 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [amibroker] Re: Group File Suggestions > > Hello All, > > My main ideas for the Group File area format. > > 1.
