Maybe I should rephrase what I said:
Only a nerd would post to FFL, using Windows, Android or any other
software, whether a PC, a tablet, or a phone.
If you're using Google Android on your phone, wouldn't it make sense to
view FFL using Google Chrome and Google Mail? Go figure.

Windows Yahoo? Since when is Yahoo just Windows? It's a web site not
peculiar to Windows at all. Why would I want to download emails just
to look at FFL? You aren't making any sense, Richard. Go figure.

Thanks for the screen shot. But, only a nerd would want to view
Windows Yahoo on an Android phone when they could get the same
messages using free Google Mail with a Chrome browser. Go figure.

You'll possibly have noticed that I have abandoned the hard returns as
the Old Geezers Of Internet Tech They Are. :-)
You got me looking at FFL on different formats, and so I noticed that
the old style didn't work as well on most screens these days. So I
changed.
As opposed, one might say, to someone who doesn't like a new variety of
tech because it doesn't allow her to keep arguing the same way she's
been arguing for almost twenty years now. Just sayin'. :-) :-) :-)
Problem I have is the new kids worshiping companies as gods like
whatever they do is "right." I had a long argument with Android
developers that it might WELL be appropriate to put an "exit" in the
menu if your app goes several layers (or "Intents") deep. Each
"Intent" is really like a little app in itself. To have to press
the back key several times to exit is a bit rude. Most of the
Google tech writing engineers seem to have limited experience in
real world software development.
Similarly developers raved over the new release of the game
development platform Unity3D. The company felt compelled to make
one extravagant demo of their new 2D library. Problem is there are
really just a few things experienced developers needed to know to
get up and running using it but wading through that extravagant demo
to find those points was a bit overkill. But sure as hell don't
criticize Unity3D over it as the cranky dweeb fans will get all over
you. I suspect they will role out a very simple example eventually
as had to do that with their 3D engine.
