It has always been that way, but way back when, we managed.  :)

I used to think many things were impossible, but there's always some clever
devil out there who manages to find a sneaky way to pull it off.
Not sure if you're familiar with these maniacs:

I was shocked and amazed that people still use all the old equipment with their
limitations and do things I wouldn't have imagined possible.

Fast work!

Post a code snippet, and maybe we can see exactly why that is, and hopefully a
way out.

I'm not the greatest at either programming OR math, but I do have a decent
amount of experience clobbering and scheming to get computer languages and
software to do things that they wouldn't ordinarily let you do...   :D
