<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Or perhaps those "whiners"
consider themselves responsible employees by being diligent in understanding
what "normal and correct" looks like so that they can recognize
when something is going south and maybe doing something to avert a crisis
before it occurs.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I swear that every time I read about
how boot (or other) is so unaesthetic I really have to wonder if people
are actually using their system as a tool to do work, or if they're merely
playing with them as a novelty. Not that there's anything wrong such
play, but please stop trying polish the appearance at the expense of functionality
for those who see them only as tool.</font>
