Thought of dumping some post-editing workarounds for adding some text outlining
to text. (auto-batch processing where the text part is a fixed color. And Murphy
always tosses in one objects close to the used text color.)

But ... While writing that the motivation took a nose-dive.

Guess its kinda similar to the social nose-dive the world has taken. And
continues to take.

Never mind Global warming, or that one in a million*N chance of some nasty
astronomical event. MAN kind seems to be dead-set to keep that honor to itself.

(How selfish, in more ways than one.)

But that again every new generation has of course the total freedom of making
the same historical mistakes again and again.

(..., what?, "Responsibility". Sure, but only if its economical of course.)

Probably just a side affect of natural evolution in progress.
(Fermi paradox & Great Filter also come to mind)


Yea ... Think I feel a bit better now. Stupid hairless apes.

I'm headed out to work, but:

Search for "Bordered Characters" by Dave Blandston.
I think there was at least a v1.4
