I understand. I usually set up controls for something, use them a while, then reconfigure for better intuitiveness. Have to rewire my brain every time.

This is very exciting news!   Please let me know what I can do to help test it.  Maybe a snippet on one of the webpages or a post in the Help Forum would be useful.

Thanks, Dale.

There's probably been sci-fi written at some point when in our distant past an advanced civilization was destroyed by an AI they created leaving only a remnant of humanity. This remnant swore off all technology returning to the caves. Until they forgot.

And forget the killer robots hunting us down. That makes for fun movies but a sufficiently advanced AI could kill most of us without ever lifting a titanium digit.

An AI needn't orchestrate a massive overt DDOS attack to bring us to our knees. It could/can study everything connected to the Internet, find weaknesses, points of failure, and make subtle changes bringing everything to a halt. Exactly what has happened recently.

I believe we've been attacked three times in the last couple of months. AWS, Azure, and Cloudflare. They were portrayed as internal failures but I don't buy it. This is the immediate threat AI poses. We've seen the impact of limited failures in our Internet recently and over the years. Imagine now that it all just stops. Indefinitely.

If we don't stop spending the future and start paying down our debt hyper inflation is inevitable.

Lowering interest rates will do nothing but raise purchase prices as it is all about the monthly..

One more money printing session should do the trick..make the US dollar great again lol..ain't gonna happen without a crash but no one has the guts for that..

High interest rates drive up payments and put that money in the banks.
