Damn fine one, to be honest.<br />However, as much as we REALLY enjoy all your writings, and eagerly look forward to each installment, you have no obligation to provide us with a daily fix to satisfy our own addictions. <br />If the Muse wants to go out to lunch, or a day at the Muse spa, or visit relatives, that's all cool with us. And, covered by our full money back guarantee for what we pay for the free "work in progress" edition.<br /><br />So, we look forward to what we get, when we get it, when you feel like scribbling it, and are not distracted by physical shortcomings, or the necessity to perform evil work for actual financial compensation. Above all, family first!<br /><br />THANK YOU for what you do for us!<br />John Blackshoe<br /><br />PS- I really like the start of the new series!

I found it, every time I've tried, to be a kludgy pile of dog squeeze. <br /><br />I remember the olde dayes, whence young techno-mages practiced simplicity and elegance in their programming spells, as even large processors doth raneth rather slowish. Now? Any programming seems to be slicing and hacking chunks of old programs, other programs, together to make huge, bloated, kludgy programs that only run well on the faster machines with huge memories and small animal sacrifices.<br /><br />Like MS Office, in any of its varieties (Office 2007, 2010, 365 (yeah, trust cloud storage, yeah...) or even the free Office that MS is offering. I've been a fan of Office from, well, the first time I used MS Word after using Word Perfect. Things were so much better on Word. But then the kludginess creep occurred and, well, bloated toad.<br /><br />Now? The new (to me) computer came with LibreOffice 7.1, freeware and it kicks MicroSerf's arse. Back to being an elegant suite of easy to use and very compatible programs that are just nice.<br /><br />Sorry about the eye. Last eye appointment was 'the big yearly checkup' and I ended up wearing sunglasses in my normally overly darkened pad until bedtime, around 5am (weird hours what with wife's weird schedule.) Bleh, squandered youth, yada-yada.<br /><br />When do you ship off to Califrutopia?
