When they say "deaf as a cannon", it sounds... controversially. What is DH? ...I ask it because of upgrade.

More as a picking a meal, searching for tasty parts. Or even better: you get a really good steak, and then someone perfuse it with some sweet catchup (yuck!). Then you need a *talent* to solve the situation... If you just launder the steak, all other good spices will go away. I always was telling: "People, do not *build in* such features. Make them as plug-ins. So that folks may *choose* what they want and when they need them." But no. Nobody listen to. ...Seems they are deaf as a posts. Such an approach would make a real advance. TB would be as a super-cop, a body with fittings. You would get what you need for a given task/mission. No less no more. Various types of customers propel. TB team goes to Vegas. They lose nothing, just get more. This way, alas, they go to Albuquerque. Similarly as newsreader function is solved - by a plugged separate gadget in! MyGate! That's the way. You plug it in, you unplug it. They should do that with "Scheduler", "Smart Bat", "HTML editor"... But it seems they need a time...

Doing what you can with what you have is also an interesting thing. ...This way you could become even a conceptual artist. (-: Members of family could become your exhibits. You earn lots of money, you go to Vegas, you lose all. You are happy. You go back to home, walking for food. Happiness is most important.
