@matigo I think it’s like when a relief vehicle drops supplies to starving people. Everyone develops sharp elbows and looks after number one. Except in this case it’s not relief supplies it’s career success which these days people see as money and status. And career has become everything. I’m sure there are other things going on as well. I wonder what the corporate ladder was like fifty or sixty years ago. Was it just as riddled with jealousy or have we gradually morphed into this way of being somehow?
I didn’t know the explorer Ranulph Fiennes had taken a Jack Russell to both the South Pole and the North Pole. That’s animal cruelty if you ask me.
@matigo It makes you wonder what on God's Earth is in that 4GB's of RAM. It's easy to forget just how much data that is. We managed to send men to the moon with a microscopic fraction of that. I'm glad I can elect to avoid Jabba The Hut software.

@matigo That picture looks blurry, as if it's serving up the small version when I click on it. Your previous picture upload looks sharp.
I've never owned a powerful computer. I've always used quite low-end stuff. Certainly not had anything with the suffix pro in it's name. It must be nice to have demanding tasks completed quickly without interminable waits and lots of noise and heat.
One of the chaps who rowed across the Drake Passage (S. America to Antarctica) said 'a calm mind is a strong mind'. That got me wondering: if that’s true, can you be more easily dominated and manipulated if your calm has been taken away?
