You want to do everything the way you've been doing it for decades, and not have to change what you do and how you do it. You want to stay put where you are. What will you do when that's no longer possible? In service of that you must jump through hoops and perform all manner of labor others have the computer do for them. It will become increasingly harder as you go along. At some point, you may have no choice, and simply have to do it differently because what you need to do can no longer be *done* the way you're doing now. Resisting upgrades is storing up trouble for the future. When you finally *have* to upgrade, it will be an order of magnitude harder than it could have been because so *much* will change. What value do you place on your *time*? Everyone I know would look at what you've recounted as your process and say "That sort of stuff is what a *computer* is for!" Personally, I think "doing it the way you've always done it" is more important than "trust in paper" for you. > DS ______ Dennis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
