Howdy Wayne, Yes, I thought of you and your machines afterward. But you're different, being an expert at windows. Most people/organizations who use it aren't so expert... And it's the people who download things without knowing how they work that causes the vast majority of problems I see. PEBKAC (problem exists between keyboard and chair).
Of course I too have made a turtle fly -- just the other day, a very large snapping turtle. He was on the bridge in our driveway, headed for the lake. No doubt hoping to eat some of the baby geese there. I got hold of him at 3 & 9 o'clock positions and tossed him back to the creek side of the bridge. Probably a pretty impressive flight to him... But those turtles are stubborn, most likely I only slowed him down a bit...
