   In a message on Thursday 07-19-16 Paul Quinn said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   Good evening Paul,   
      
   PQ> Caution!  You may have to adapt your working habits as you make this   
   PQ> latest evolutionary step of yours, my friend.  :)   
      
   I have already!   
      
   PQ> I have left a _lot_ of once-favourite programs in my wake over the   
   PQ> years  A lot.  The improvement has been remarkable but has taken far   
   PQ> too long, with the in-between steps so slowly introducing measurable   
   PQ> advancements.   
      
   Well, once I get this machine upgraded, I'll be back with my favourite   
   programs in OS/2. I has however, taken too a long time.   
      
   PQ> And then along came my journey with Linux over the last decade,   
   PQ> No wonder I am an older frail shadow of my former self!  ;)   
      
   I too have been interested in Linux, but the case sensitivity has been   
   the stumbling stone. Other than that, I wouldn't mind learning a new   
   command set.   
      
   PQ> Thank you.  The crickets are chirping, and the general hubbub of   
   PQ> this end of town is quieting from its industrious weekday high.    
      
   Since a few years back I don't hear the crickets anymore, but yesterday   
   I thought I heard the flapping wings of a butterfly. And there's no bird   
   that I don't hear.   
      
   PQ> It's wet BTW, though the 78% humidity is bearable with the current   
   PQ> temp of 20.8C (the bureau reckons it feels like 22C).  For us,   
   PQ> anything over 20C is just fantastic.   
      
   That temperature is comfortable for us. It has been hovering between   
   20 - 22ø in the afternoons. The last day we had rain was the 15th,   
   except an occasional short shower now and then.   
      
   PQ> I have a cold or light flu (I've had this year's flu-shot), so I   
   PQ> feel somewhat lousy.  It's only temporary.   
      
   Summer colds are usually difficult to cure. If you take medicines, the   
   flu will be over in 14 days, if not it'll last 2 weeks.   
      
   On the T-bird frontier I had a session last night, without success, on   
   the stationary machine, but before I gave up I started up the laptop,   
   to see if the versions were the same, and then saw why I didn't succeed   
   on the stationary.   
      
   On the laptop I saw the left edge of the main T-bird window, with the   
   File, Edit etc commands and choices.   
      
   On the stationary, the mail editor completely covered the main window.   
   Tonight, I'll shove them apart, and make a new try. This time I'm gonna   
   succeed ;o).   
      
      
   Have a good nite,   
      
   Holger
