Maybe it's time to let it go... 7 years ago is the dark ages in browser time. You are clearly the Adrian Monk of web users :)


If the old ways work well enough, why bother to change?

I still call my Windows scripts .bat files (instead of .cmd, that's clearly for OS/2 programs).

It was only in the last three or four years that I stopped naming my files with all-uppercase names not longer than eight letters, with an extension not longer than three letters, to be sure they would be compatible with a FAT16 filesystem.

I'm rather distrustful of GUI's for doing things like moving or copying files.

I never drag-and-drop files into programs, partly because I seldom use GUI file managers, but mainly because most programs didn't support the metaphor when Windows 95 first came out, and I haven't bothered to check if things have gotten better yet.

Given these facts, you might find it surprising to learn that my age is less than 30.
