also coming over from another system you come to learn
Just like coming to another country as my dad said learn the language
and the rules . Some compromise but that's not a compromise there is
the default . The other interferes with the app. The konsole is to use
the app like you would from cli right .
well there is more But I can see I'm going to get the shaft on those
too with this answer.

As far as the mail the searchig to find the simple blah at blah.com is
not easy at all from starting at the main page . I got it from the
second confirmation. After signing up. Anyways I can see konsole isn't
going to do half of what it used too. Like I said they should learn if
they want to use something different. We ALL did .
