The reason you get links to Scripting News articles instead of the full text is that they're on a different site in my CMS. Sorry about that. My sites are always the bleeding edge, the place where I experiment the most. So it's always all just barely working. Be glad you get the links! :-0#

Products have to be easy. But they don't have to be effortless. We use lots of products that require effort, some specifically because they require effort.

Now a song to sing along with!#
