Hi,

This thread has gone on and on and on for almost ever and so far off topic! No. This is not a complaint. Those who do not want to see it can click on the "ignore this thread" button - sometines labeled "ignore this subject" - and never see it again. You won't even to overexert your poor, exhausted index finger wearing out your delete key. Just *gone* forever.

Once upon a time I started programming too. I had "real" work to do and those newfangled computers looked like very useful tools. I could buy (or steal) software to do inventory or accounting tasks but they always di a job the way somebody else wanted to do it and not *MY* way. So I started programming. My "real" work suffered due to time wasted writing programs. Then I found better software packages that could be configured to do my work the way I wanted it done and I dumped that programming stuff. I moved right out of the closet and went to doing "real" work. I was labeled "power user" - not programmer. Not that such programming isn't 'real" work. If you like it or somebody is paying you to it - or even better, both - it qualifies as "real" work. I am only in it again because I can use it to help do some "real" work that I am interested in and the Arduino type tools are much closer to the configurable software I chose all those weeks ago. The lies that are getting swapped in this thread are remarkably similar to my own fables of the past:)
