Personally, as someone who used to design before it all got very "heavy", I don't like things that make it "easier" to use. Just a point and click will do it for me.. And maybe a password? That's enough. :)
Web pages etc are no longer about the content. They seem to be more about how pretty the container is. <sigh> But, I'm afraid that I'm addicted to the internet and papercraft and have enough software tools to get what every I think I need to get. ;) The hurdles only get me once.... toodles, Mandy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael G.
