Never cared for bash completion and the Microsoftesque penchant for trying to do everything, when some of us only want them to keep the hell out of the way. Every new idea they add just boggs down the overall system, rather than concentrating on writing faster, tighter code for the user interface, leaving us stuck with chasing down the next full computer upgrade just to keep up. It's stupid. I can recall back in the 80's, having a spreadsheet and having it take 10 seconds to recalculate the thing, and then looking at all the advances in Windows and CPU processing power, and the same spreadsheet still takes 10 seconds to recalculate. It's stupid. I needed to buy a whole new computer because friggin Orca no longer runs worth a crap on a Celeron CPU, and it's only going to get worse as time goes on. Michael
