Ben, I'm SURE you understand; obsessive I am, no question
about it. I'm
punctual, everything on my desk is neatly placed (all I see
are right
angles), and I rarely waver from a routine, and I'm pretty
good in math. I'm
even convinced that a certain compulsiveness goes far in
making one "get
things right" on the computer. Even this very email is
lined up the way I
want it. If it doesn't come out right, I'll give Outlook
Express a
you-know-what. However, like I think Clint once complained
about his
postings, often I get those large spaces between paragraphs;
that's another
problem eventually I'll work on. I can't share my
compulsiveness with too
many problems at one time.
And as Hugh knows, I started my own website way before I
knew anything about
"tables" and "style
type="text/css" tags etc. I'll never fix all
the poorly
constructed pages so ... the heck with 'em. And the links
on the site that
go outside the site, damn them, most of those sites are long
gone, and I'm
too busy cleaning out all the garbage files in this computer
(all the time,
mind you) that I'm not about to monitor all the sites on
the internet.
Contrary to my obsessiveness (if there is such a word), it
doesn't bother
me. I'm gonna sit here like Tony Perkins (Norman Bates) did
at the end of
Psycho, hands folded, and say, "I'm not going to make
any change here, and
everyone will say, 'why he wouldn't even change a
link'"
Regarding your good advice about folders, and Clint's URL
...
<http://tinyurl.com/syens
> (now there's a nice neat tiny url "just the
way I
like it"), you guys will keep me busy fussing around
getting the computer to
behave my way (good thing I'm retired and as Blue Eyes
said, "I did it my
way"). Btw, $40 ... obsessive me (maybe there's
another word for it) will
spend whatever for the best compuer in the store, and then
only use
freeware. Isn't life strange? --- Harold
PS ... I'm not completely crazy with this computer. I'm
currently working on
a letter that I'll be sending out to all federal, state,
and city officials
having todo with education complaining about some defects in
the New York
City School System (maybe the problem exists with other
school systems too)
... http://www.geocities.com/buddychai2/School/SchoolDays.
html ... (the
snail mail copies are being prepared and I'm looking
forward to their
responses) sometimes you have to stick your neck out when
you see things
that are wrong. I don't know who said that; must have been
someone. I mean,
"if not now, when" etc. etc.
