Understood.  It was just that the phrase "cool kids" was so prominent
and, well, unusual, that I did not know what to make of it.  It could
have been akin to a Linux newbie asking about the best Linux distro and
someone replying "Linux from Scratch."  That would be the "cool" way to
do it, but also totally unworkable for said newbie.

I was also reminded of the old IBM commercial where the young pup is
trying to sell the crusty old CEO on some new technology, claiming that
is was "cool."  Crusty's response?  "Cool? Cool costs me money."  Since
this was a commercial, crusty came around, but his response mirrors my
experience to some extent.

So thanks for following up and clarifying.
