Fact is I don't think there are any technological elitists hanging around here, music and technology enthusiasts perhaps, but not elitists. I've learned a lot in these forums and there have been times I've had to invest significant time and been frustrated with things - 99.99% of the time due to my own lack of understanding. Persistence has its own rewards, and after more than 20 years dabbling in IT I've realised that the learning curve is perpetual. jdm56;241336 Wrote: > ...Anyway, people slam the Microsofts and Bose's of the world for > dumbing down their products.
