You have told me that you cannot drive or ride a bicycle, Tony.
Explain to me how this commendable attitude of "I can't do that, so I
will learn" applies to these activities -- daily activities for
billions of people, skills that would be very useful to you almost
every day.

Apparently you missed the words "when I want to"; I'm sure that, like me,
you know many people, especially people like Tony who live in large
metropolitan areas with good public transit facilities and taxi service, who
choose to *not* want to drive and would not dream of getting on a bicycle;
do you harangue them the same way?
Is it just envy because Tony is such a generous and prolific contributor of
generally useful information while your posts despite their much greater
number and size usually contribute mostly noise, that makes you jump into a
discussion about power supplies just to 'pick on him' like this?
For once I have to agree with Tothwolf and his "You, sir, are a bona fide
troll," and an often rude and silly one at that; my apologies to the list
for adding to the OT.
