An example: I spent most of yesterday building a website for another writer. At one point, I added a new text editor to the site. Did everything right, couldn't see the addition. Spent an hour working on the settings, reloading the editor, reinstalling, etc. While I was trying yet another solution, Kate pulled up the site, and there was the new editor. My machine had been holding the old one in the cache. The other writer's machine is still holding the old one, and as he's several states away, I can't clear it for him.

So I have real sympathy, and even empathy, for what Alex is going through. He deserves a medal, or at least a bottle of scotch. The good stuff: single malt, cask strength, aged for 22 years. Maybe even a case of it...

Best,

Bill
