:)  I figured it would be quicker to poll the public on 'what they use' 
vs. google 'what one might use' (even though I did do that before 
asking the question).

... but, I suppose the next step in the 'in my days' stories (what I'll 
be saying) is 'in my day I had to do /some/ of the work, but now your 
computer does it all for you while you drink YooHoo, now fortified with 
nutrients to keep you safe from radiation.'
