While you are stuck in a 1970's mindset, I get things done in the most efficient method possible, which usually means using applications, which is an attribute that all my clients value highly. If I stuck to a 1970's mindset like yours, I would have been out of business decades ago. The use of applications no more requires an understanding of IEEE754 than fueling your car requires an understanding of ASTM D4814-15a. -- Jim Pennino
