Just a thought - especially with enabling and disabling damn dialogue boxes. And why, when you just want to ask a simple question from one of these help sites do you have to keep REGISTERING all the time - Name, User Name, Password, (and the password can be a nightmare - you know more of the same - what's your mother's maiden name, can you fart backwards while eating a fairy cake standing on your head), and then just for good measure a bit more nosying info your private life - so they can build up a PROFILE of you - how many times do you crap a day, did you have sex last Thursday around 8pm - I mean why should we have to go through all that - I don't necessarily want to be registered, profiled and catalogued like some dead butterfly and receive their flaming newsletter or updates on this programme or other or be eligible to go on some nerd forum - maybe - just maybe, I want a simple answer to a simple question that's all - and god help you if you actually want a phone number !!!

    To be honest, I was going to read your question, but when I opened it to find a mini novel, I said, "Fuck it". Good luck finding someone else who is more patient.

    All operating systems support Undo feature in Text boxes, combo boxes, and Rich text boxes by default. You can undo by right clicking for the context menu and selecting Undo, or pressing the hotkey Ctrl + Z.

    > UNDO buttons littered everywhere might be a good idea !? I think that some sort of change reversal feature would be useful, but software developers are too stodgy to implement it. Check out some of the pathetic last-next generation attempts at this, such as ARCHIE. > Why...do you have to keep REGISTERING all the time They want to either sell the profile or use it to sell stuff to you, I guess.
