He snipped my footnote (but not the reference to it) and ignored the actual
video where I talk about it: <https://youtu.be/aSNpnYpmKag>.

Keep in mind the discussion has been about workflows in the GUI, *not* about
what is technically happening in the background. That is not relevant to the
discussion.

Comes down to this: Owl engaged in some good advocacy, better than most of
your herd ever has. He showed Linux doing pretty much any given task I
showed in an alternate system, though perhaps not quite as streamlined. He
also showed a task Peter mentioned, converting files in the file manager to
PDF, in a way which I was able to emulate but *not* as well as his (mine had
some advantages but overall his was better).

Fine. Each was shown to have advantages, neither of us was claiming the
other was a bad choice to use, and we were talking about technology and
educating each other. Excellent conversation.

But then Owl was *not* able to replicate PDF Services other than to have
people right click on the desktop as opposed to the program itself. Ouch.
This is a whacky workflow and, apparently at least, to not clutter his menus
he removed other items we had talked about and used.

I noted PDF Services is available in any program that uses the standard OS X
print dialog - no need to go to the desktop or otherwise leave the program.
And no need to modify my system between showing tasks it handles well... OS
X handles all these things at once. I show many of them here:
<https://youtu.be/fRyYZD15s0c>.

At this point no more videos from him. It seems doing multiple of the things
at once, without reconfiguring his computer, is outside what he can do
(though I bet he is busy working on a solution to cover the exact set of
things I show in that video... which would be cool if he could do on one
level but sorta misses the point on another... the idea is I do not have to
reconfigure to get lots of great workflows).
