"User Friendly," and "Self Explanatory," were the hype that swept us into the Information Rich Millenium but they're not the common currency of Hi-Tech today. The machines are faster and the software is more reliable but recurring resource conflicts, indecipherable error messages, and data corruption have moderated our expectations.

Local Knowledge refers to a continually growing catalog of gems I find personally enlightening. Your mileage may vary. Help yourself. Click here for the "Pitch":
