Happy to know and remember that certain commands have flags and options that 
might help do things quicker - however, we aren't hurting for CPU these 
days.... and I'd rather teachers teach the methods they know than to not teach 
at all - does show, IMO, how these platforms could use better community options 




































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































and plugs to allow the users to help the teacher. :P

Remember, theres 100 ways to skin a cat - and I'm always happy to learn a 
better, faster way. Me0w.
