Actually, yes, it did! I see, finally. There are so many buttons
everywhere doing every kind of thing. I think I will ask my minders
back on Mars to let me go to Earth at the 18th Century mark for my next
visit.
In Witness, there is a scene when Harrison Ford is up from recuperating
a near fatal injury at the Amish Lapp family home. He is dressing in
Rachel's late husband's clothes. There were no buttons on it and Rachel
explained that the Amish regarded buttons as too "proud" and "haughty"
or something like this. (It was one of the Shakespearian light relief
scenes in this brilliant film). I wonder how Amish people make
websites, there would be no buttons (perhaps plain text links)? Any
Amish at alt.html willing to enlighten me on this matter?
(Newserver is down, so this is Google reply... I know to press the
Option button because Els said to to someone once and it stuck in my
memory)
