Alex, I for one appreciate all the help and advice you provide around here... I think you're a "hoot", with a good heart, go out of your way for folks, and you make me laugh, in a good way...
'course I also tend to suffer winers poorly, especially when the amount of time spent wining could have made them more than enough money to have upgraded...
Long ago I recognized that both imperfection and beauty are all around me... and I choose to focus on the latter. A perfect example is the huge investment I'd made in all the IK stuff that never made it to 64bit land... I moved on to all the beautiful stuff that has... And I did that makin' a poverty level income.
And then there are those that wine about the upgrade price!!! OY! I'm a lowly gardener, workin' my hands till they're raw just to keep myself afloat but for the price of beers, a few bottles of "wine" or cups of coffee... you can leap to a much more beautiful situation...
or you can sit there, drink your beer... and "wine" about blah blah blah blah blah
