I wonder if new technology is sometimes everything it's cracked up to be. And after reading this thread, I really have to wonder. Sometimes it feels like we "innovate" to satisfy the geek fringe of the user base, the folks who arent happy unless they can really get in there and muck around with the deepest levels of a computer system. I just want to install the program, turn it on, and have it work. That's all. No fancy bells and whistles: just a simple, straightforward interface that takes me where I want to go without my having to check to make sure that all my internet permissions to properly set, that my folders are "deep", or that my "scripts" are correct.  I just want it to run. Why does that seem like such a difficult thing to ask?

:: sigh :: Maybe it's time to just get out of this altogether. I was only partially laughing when I commented about Miss Nancy's post about lighting, but let's face it: that's where you guys want this to go, off into some weird little world where, to be frightfully blunt, a lot of the fun of this program is being stripped away. Still, who am I to stand in the way of "progress"?
