In the life of a cross platform slider, there is one major downside : We have a choice. A choice to pick up any computer in the house and do ‘our thing’ on a variety of operating systems. If I glance over our “laptop drawer” that houses a variety of mobile computers for various uses,…

My father in law tends to hoard, and when I say hoard, I mean that. His office is filled with clutter that would make a geek think he went to hoarding heaven.
