[TheForge] Recuperative Wall furnace sketch.

[Jerry Frost]

It is giving directions, literally and while it may make sense to them . . . 
<grin>

I agree, some of the worst directions come from folk who've done IT for a 
long time. This is why I learned so much more from my students than more 
advanced smiths.

I think there's another factor at work too, competition. Seems like the meat 
of directions gets lost in the add pitch for the newest greatest 
whateveritis. In this case I simply did NOT want to download a software 
package useful ONLY on Photoaccess. They offered a just upload it without 
all our most marvelous bells and whistles option. I guess with the plain 
option you get an album with a random date as a name?

To be fair I didn't spend much time trying to figure it out.

Remember how a scanner or printer used to work? Key in "ctrl p" and the 
printer did it's thing, maybe highlight just what you wanted printed first. 
Scanning used to be a matter of hitting "aquire image," "scan," etc. and 
whatever program you aquired from would do it's thing.

You aught to see the crap I have to go through now to print something and 
scanning is a real pain. Even if I use one of my old OLD programs it seems 
the scanner or printer has onboard programming to defeat simply doing what 
it's told. Of course it's all in the name of convenience!

End rant. <grin>
