Giving thanks for classic desktop options

[ Thanks to Ken Hess for this link. ]

There’s always something to be thankful for and I’m
thankful for the ability to select a classic version of my favorite
desktop interfaces.

I like new things. I really do. But, like most people, I don’t
like to change the way I work. I have built an efficient flow to my
day and to disrupt it by trudging around through some ill-conceived
new interface that only serves to frustrate me and slow me down is
not something I take lightly. The rule of thumb for any new
interface should be efficiency not the lack thereof. For now, I’ll
stick with the “classic” versions of my favorite operating
systems.
