Hi, List! I, too, used to write macros to do different things with my BNS, and loved it. However, I got used to my BNQT by looking upon it as a laptop. It helps give me patience, on the rare times I need patience, to gain access to files when I am in a time crunch. I still love my BNQT over my BNS any day.
