AHA!!!! Now *THIS* tidbit is absolutely pure gold! No, on second thought,
make that platinum. EXACTLY the type of advice I was hoping to see. (My
main "thing" against GUIs is that they so often assume the user is too
stupid to understand a text-based error message, so they either "dumb 'em
down" to the point of being useless, or don't display 'em at all)
