Subject: One point more or less make the difference for maniatic like us -or ass?

Hi Tim:
Yes, one point sometime makes the difference for choosing a program. I
have seen the same all around my few friends that share my madness. Of
course this is a metaphore, like yours; one point means perhps 20 or 30,
that is, the same as one, in fact. If we were a little bit more smart
than we are -but then we would not lose time in this- we would consider
to own just a computer with enough features and strong to kill us most
of the time, but in fact we are never satisfied: we want to be crushed
by better and better programs. A syquiatrist friend of mine -no my
shrink-that some day took a look here and read some of the articles
wondered how was possible that people aparrently intelligent could waste
so much time in so unuseful discussions. I stopped him short making some
alutions to HIS habitude to go fishing and get regularly a cold instead
of going to the supermarket to purchase the stuff. But he was right. I
did not dare to tell them about my 40 or 50 programs and less to show
him my collection of stand-alones units. Maybe this is the reason I
expend daily at least a couple of hours or more reading and writting
here -I work in my home, thansk God- : I feel in company with the same
kind of nuts.
