Don´t let this go to your head, but I have to compliment you guys. I may consider myself to be a rather accomplished car guy, but the mastery you, and your generation, show concerning computer/internet technology is mind boggling. I know that it is just the toy you have all grown up with, but I am still astounded. I wouldn´t know where to begin on changing the site parameter, or beginning one, for that matter.
One complication that the dependence on computers poses, however, is noticed by my wife (a teacher), and myself. This holds true for many of her students, so this is not a direct reflection on you folks, specifically. Grammar, spelling and writing skills have taken an unintended hit. Kris´s kids are magnet school geeks who shoot the numbers on the national tests (1600´s on the SAT, and the like), and go to the Ivy League schools. Be that as it may, they still cannot spell, do not punctuate, and very rarely write papers, or letters, in a manner which befits a high school student, let alone the "best and brightest," as they think themselves to be. It seems that with spell and grammar check, no one is required to think, the computer corrects all your errors for you. As for the writing skills, that problem is more a result of the liberalization of the school curriculum, where traditional skills are pushed aside for a more left-leaning agenda. I will stop here before I get on my political soapbox.
Sorry for the lecture, there. I just wanted to let you know that this "old guy" is impressed. Keep up the good work, ´cause I sure can´t do it. ; }
