It's one of the sad ironies of this computer stuff that the simpler solutions take longer to conceive than the complicated ones.

<b> Hello world </b>

Productive weekend started four hours ago for me (at 06:00 EDT). Visited aunties and mum. Just got home, and waiting for wife to finish preparing to get on the road again. Next destination: nursing home (visit family, and “adopted” elders).
