This has been the last 50 years. How is this news at this point? It was stuff that matters 50 years ago.

Well telling your kids that they can't take swimming because there's no swimming pool within walking distance is certainly not going to be preferable to anyone. If that's what you are basing your whole case on then I'm sorry I wasted my time. There are areas here that are walking friendly if I didn't want to do anything else but what is in the area!

If you live in London you can be in Paris in 6 hours and that's a vacation. I have never lived anywhere within 6 hours of something worthwhile seeing.

I have never had any problem with any engine unless I had forgotten to put oil in it. I only had trouble in one transmission in a Dodge but it was because they made the transmission with plastic parts. Got rebuilt properly for $1500 and no problems after.

I work with administrators, not developers. They log into servers manually.

Putty is not optimized to handle hundreds of servers, securecrt is.

Didn't say that they weren't a valid choice for some people. Just not most people in North America.

And that's fine if you never go far from home or have enough time of that you can sit around charging.

Ok well clearly you have never attempted to even get a $100 piece of software from a corporation when there are free alternatives available. I have never seen a place that was willing to pay for securecrt, we always use putty.
