I've also bemoaned Schwab's password policy. I reacted by changing my login ID to something nonsensical which would be difficult to guess or to associate with anyone's identity, let alone mine.

Ha! Fair enough. No, I didn't intend to troll. I've found RCS useful for ad hoc versioning of configuration files on systems without git or other version control systems. Wondering whether anyone still finds it useful. I reckon not!

Does anyone else use RCS [1] for this?

He inspired me to start building my own wheels, to experiment more with 70s-era French steel frames, Raleigh 3-speeds, Raleigh 20s, flip-flop hubs, fixed 3-speed Sturmey-Archer hubs, and on and on. Wonderful man.

Agreed that OsmAnd's interface leaves much room for improvement. Even though I have successfully used its navigation function for specific addresses, I have also run into all the problems you outline. It does seem to get better with each new release.

Have you looked into OsmAnd [1] for Android devices? You may find it not as slick as Google Maps, but it does have Points of Interest search.

Thanks. I appreciate your candor and your work on this.
The comment struck me, because I often feel the same!

What do you make of the following under ``SOUNDLAB.COMBINATORS'' on the API page:
``I have no idea what I am doing. I thought I knew but boy am I lost. Still, all this appears to be something good!''
I like that he named Archy after Don Marquis' Archy and Mehitabel, the cockroach and alley cat duo. Archy the cockroach would spend hours throwing his body against the keys of a manual typewriter to convey his poetry about his muse Mehitabel, who in turn would throw herself repeatedly against the harsh world of alley-cat living with irrepressible gaiety. Two paragons of the struggle with interfaces!
