Yes, well....I'm just generalizing here, most think they need
a bazillion feature's, and always have to have the latest and
(what they deem) best of whatever. MS Word has a *ton* of
feature and functionality, but even for what I've done for
business purposes, most only utilize very basic functionality
to get their job done.
When I was doing mechanical dessign, before the (nearly)
entire industry went to solid modelling, I'd be doing 2D
mechanical design in AutoCAD......another s/w package with
seemingly unlimited functionality. I'd get my jobs done using
maybe 20 base commands....line, trim, circle, copy, etc.

Believe me, almost no one does. I write code for Windows and
use C for writing embedded apps for work, and I would never
want to do anything like that.

In earlier versions of ***ntu, you needed to manually add the
effects thing. The newer versions seem to have it enabled by
default. The KDE ones work very well. I was absolutely not
"into" any desktop effects, but there was this one window
effect that is (was?) in the Compiz window manager used in
Ubuntu that was just so cool, I had to use it..... it was a
flame, and when you closed the window, it would burn the
window up, and poof it was gone. There was just something
about it.....

I may not have.

That's fine, and why I snipped a lot. There was a lot more.
Too bad though, it's nice having an actual conversation for
once.
