What's that adage-something about being flexible enough to bend when the wind blows, because being rigid means you'll just break? That's my approach to computing.įurther Reading Old school: I work in DOS for an entire day I roll with whatever new software companies push out, even if it requires small changes to my workflow. In the long run it's just easier to do that than it is to declare you won't ever upgrade again because someone changed something in a way you didn't like.
