[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1403227"] I don't mean to be blunt, but people who adhere to the "if it works don't change it" motto should really steer well clear of technology generally, since it's about nothing BUT change. Constant amounts of small change and periodic disruptive change. Hanging on to older technology that's well past its prime works -- at least for a while -- the simpler your needs are. Nothing wrong with that in and of itself. But most people use the platform of "what works" to raise themselves up, try new things, experiment a little. We should be so afraid of "failing" now and then, it usually leads to learning and growing. I work with older folks than me every day and I'm delighted to see that most of them are still interested in expanding their horizons. I'm not saying a set way of working isn't productive or worthwhile, but I'd hate to think of what I'd do with myself if I ever got to a point where I was satisfied with everything. :) [/QUOTE]
