Afterall, if these gadgets were not there, there would have been no automation programs. How about each person trying to write their own Compiler, then write their own O/S and then write their own Text editor and then..... I have as my friends say a Compulsive Gadget Obsession and the same for Automation software. Why should I spend time on things that someone has already worked on and spend time. Let me benefit from their work and take on from there. Do you think there is a point in re-inventing the wheel and fire and then maybe in a million years finally suceed to make your own PC and electricity??? Evolve from the point where the world had evolved to. Don't eveolve from the amoeba.... These thoughts are not targetted towards anyone in specific, but my thoughts on people who are scared to use Automation or Technology. I like a few things traditionally, but somethings are best done Automated... ;) ?:) "drsquare" wrote in message news:vhe25u0b4mjjdq797sr7m6v8l7m46uuvq8@4ax.com... > On Fri, 25 Jan 2002 02:18:03 -0600, in alt.ascii-art, > (Kevan ) wrote: > > >On Fri, 25 Jan 2002 07:36:57 +0000 (UTC), drsquare from > >BT Openworld wrote: > >>>> You can use whatever you want, I just don't like people who have programs > >>>> do the work for them. > >>> > >>>Wait...
