Re: wot are you like

Cute family!! This really seems to have taken on a life of its own after a (I thought) simple suggestion from Nikos. There is a sense of community in knowing another person by more than just their words. Like it or not what we look like is part of who we are. And therein lies the issue. There has be...

Re: Request to see no more popup messages

Who's lifetime are we referring to - yours or ours?

If it is yours, then we are all being treated the same. If it is ours, then the older among us should get a discount!

Your wife told you that slow is better, didn't she? In computers, fast is better. Reliability is expected in all cases.

Re: xplorer2 t-shirt

Will you take special orders for size and color?

Sounds like it could cost more than the software.

Re: file count column

OK, now we're talking. A little Latin bible verse and some 17th century literature. Kilmatead is BACK. While your visit to Ms Mitchell's former residence seems to have left a scar on your psyche, that does not justify including her in the great authors of the human race. She, along with Billy Ray Cy...

Re: file count column

No, I did not know what stacking was. In reading your posts I tend to ignore all the tech stuff (unless the issue being discussed applies to me - and this one doesn't) and concentrate on the literary stuff. While I acknowledge the use of the alliterative, are you suggesting that in all the world's l...

Re: file count column

No, he does not deserve bonus points for a "Gone With The Wind" reference - it is MUCH to mainstream. We only award Kilmatead bonus points when the reference is very obscure and requires research to figure it out. :P

Kilmatead,

Love the story! One of your stories is always a great way to start my day.

Re: New to xplorer2

I think that captures the essence of the Nikos philosophy of user interface design. Or, put another way, how many user complaints does it take to get Nikos to change the X2 user interface? Not sure yet, we will find out when X2 gets that many users. :D

Ha!! Kilmatead, how does it feel being called old by that young whippersnapper? I am old, so to ME, you are young. Its all relative. But I agree with Enternal's comments about the "value added" by the non-technical aspects of your posts.

Re: About comments...

As Robert Browning wrote: “Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for?” And so, too, Kilmatead's prose help extend my reach and improve my grasp. Not only by helping me with X2 related issues but also with life and literature. Yes, some of his references are beyond the gra...

Re: New to xplorer2

No way do I believe Kilmatead would automate responses. They would be long, informative and filled with literary (and other) references. I like that old Greek saying. Very "Zorba"! However, Just because someone is a bystander at one dance, does not suggest they have never danced or do not ...

Re: New to xplorer2

I LIKE Hel's thought of having Kilmatead be the author of X2. Not only would X2 be much nearer to perfect (though, as Nikos suggests, never actually reaching that level), but the manual would be a literary tour de force. With Kilmatead as the author, and Nikos as the official thorn in his side (thus...
