"this me"?

[Mike Kerner]

Paul:  Don't forget "add 1 to x".  Yes, an assignment operator would be
great, but that is a battle that goes back 25 years, along with several
other things that really ought to change.  When something new comes along
but is not yet engrained in the culture, it's a lot easier to fix it.

Mark W.:  Go to the Help menu in 6.1.1 (rc2), scroll down to Release Notes.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
