David.. one of the big things about this group is a lot of people dont have the expertise to understand the old dos means .. and if they have ME aint no dos unless you make a dos boot disk which again a lot of people here havent the faintest idea.. so if it can be done simply without all the hassle of writing etc ,then it fully accomplishes the objective...what happens in many instances when a person who has a rudimentary knowledge of a subject is overloaded with all sorts of data they create greater problems than before.... to teach properly one must always take into account the level of everyone in the group.. from the highest to the lowest level to be an effective teacher,otherwise the lesson is lost... and what makes it difficult with a group like this is is near impossible to know where those levels are. that has been a major lesson I had drilled into me while learning to teach other individuals in either a classroom setting or a hands on procedure..... and those who had the advanced knowledge were soon apparent and could then be developed in their quest for even furtehr advanced learning.. but thats my experience...
