[Doug]

Hi:

I am making progress in my effort to just-not-care what underlying OS I am
using. Brendan Kidwell suggestion to install OpenShell was absolutely
essential. Now I feel like I can find things fast with my one-column
classic format. "Just look for the .exe" is my motto. Thus my windows NUC
can run Gimp and Inkscape. My next transition is to make sure content I am
creating is available on all my machines, in other words, storing content
on a shared device (Dropbox, Box, or Google Drive, not sure yet). With the
same software and the same files, I can work on the same content using a
MacBook or a Windows 10 NUC.

Thanks for your suggestions,
Doug
