[OT] Why would it be a pain?

[Dan Shafer]

Richmond.....

My first reaction was, "Well it just is what it is." Kinda Zen-like don't
you agree? :-)

But on reflection, I think you're right. Though I have a deep background in
HyperCard where IT originated, I suspect that IT is a source of confusion
for lots of folks.

Accordingly, I'm embarking on writing The Complete Guide to IT. Coming soon
a an eBook near you.
