Very cool old-school tunes. :thumbup: Indeed. Was thinking that Powershell commands, at least the basics, don't seem that difficult. Growing up with MS-DOS/early Windows, I guess I was kind of intimidated. Not that I ever would claim to be a guru and batch scripts/commands. I've always managed to g...

Taking a moment to observe and reflect and think. I suppose bullshit and yabber too. It's kinda incredible to see the number of artists/musicians that have parked songs and videos on Youtube. I was looking at some of the stuff I posted here before. That Steve Earle song, Copperhead Road , always kin...

I'm beginning to have a real appreciation of this thing:

It's not exactly 'user friendly' by modern standards (it use WordStar-style commands), but it is a very useful text editor.

LView Pro : https://www.lview.com/ The 64-bit version of LView can be used on Windows 7 x64 and newer 64-bit Windows versions, while the 32-bit version requires Windows XP or newer...

I suppose that Interface thing isn't exactly a tiny detail. I once helped create a Excel spreadsheet, using VBA macros, that basically acted like a database UI. It was used for receiving products from various customers. It would save a copy of itself using info I entered on 'sheet1' and you could en...

*For PERSONAL use, why a database*

Okay, I understand at a high-level why databases are useful. Right of the top of my head: Too much data for/ so much data that a spreadsheet becomes unwieldy. Multiple users - Data is updated by one, ready to use/view by all (really, I could argue that the software/ UI makes that easier). Obviously ...
