[Cube] impatience or bring back dos

[mac at neuroportal.net]

Hi

The reason that text edit works and word doesn't when you paste in a 
tab is quite simply the font.

Im a programmer, and sometimes use 5250 terminal sessions. I also need 
to send some text to someone else off that screen and if you paste into 
ANY wordprocessor you need to make sure you use a fixed width font.

Mow this is not the valued knowledge of a trusted few individuals - 
this is widely known.

I would argue, and believe me that I suffer from this myself, that you 
are impatient, wanting to just get on with a job as opposed to spend 
time to find out things that let you do things the way you wanted to do 
them in the first place - yes that does feel like wasting time - but if 
you dont then you will continue to feel frustrated with technology. If 
stuff worked the way you wanted them to - that would pretty much screw 
up our expectations of technology.

In short, if you fond a way to do something and you want to stick with 
that way then cool. But because you dont understand the way things work 
the way they do dont think that technology is too complicated, think 
maybe you are not willing to invest the time. Which is fine...
