At this point I have to add my two cents about something "doing your
job". For most people a Yugo would do just as well as any other car
in transporting them from point A to point B, as this is the job of
most cars. A typewriter would do just as well for most secrataries
to type their letters. Yet, in neither case do people generally use the
wimpier version.
While something may "do your job", there may very well be something
else out there that "does your job" better, faster, more
efficiently, and more comfortably. Basically what I'm saying is:
Don't close you're mind to suggestions of software that will make
your job easier, quicker and less painful.
