Shirley,

Good to see a post from you. It’s been a long time since I have heard a peep out of you. You sound just like Ruthie. Sometimes I take simple things and with my great analytical mind and wonderful power of deduction and I get screw up in my thinking. That is when I cry Ruthie, Oh RUTHIE! The magic word, Ruthie. Tightening her apron strings she comes to my side and says, ‘now what’? In my frustration I reply: Those crazy tech writers, I don’t think they understand all they know about this. Look, see if you can make heads or tails of this stupid thing and you’ll see what I mean. Now now my sweets, lets go to the kitchen table and take a look at the problem. OK, but I wish their boss would fire them and get somebody who can write these things in plain english so an ordinary guy could understand them. What jerks! Come on, sit. relax. Let’s see what the book says. Is this what’s got you so up tight? Hmmmm. Are you sure you read this. Yes, two or three times. Well hun, let me go back to the composer page like it says cus I don’t quite understand that and we’ll go from there. Well ya, sure. That makes sense. OK, lets go back and see if we can put it all together now. Well now, seems logical, lets go over to your baby for the acid test. Let me pull up a chair and we’ll give it a try. Let’s see, the book says this first. OK now push this button. Next? You got the disk in? OK. Now this, this and this! It works? Slowly rising from her chair Ruthie looks at me and says. I got other things to do. Next time read the book, not half of it. Now Shirley, comes your Quote. The quote that I think all girls either have learned in school or have been taught by their mothers. Quote: “Hope I have made this quite clear”.

Thanks Shirl, could we ever get along without a woman's touch?
