5. OK. I'm not a technotard. My first computer was a Timex/Sinclair 2068.

Remember those? That was back when the Commodore 64 was supreme, but it only had 64k of memory. The Timex/Sinclair had more (72k I think?), plus every key on the keyboard had 5 functions (at least) which made it SO much easier to write your own code back in the days when you HAD to write your own code for damn near every app you wanted, & I did.

From that I went to building my own IBM PC, then XT, then through a dozen or more multi-core high-performance PCs for video editing/processing (with RAID array drives & multi-terabyte rendering servers, where the editing PC submitted its job to 20-30 rendering PCs) ... to today.

Where I find myself unable to paste a freaking pic into a DU msg. Seems like I need to put the pic somewhere (internet, server?) then link to that file? As opposed to just paste/embed the pic?

Damn technology ...

& thanks for your help
