The narrow-bar-at-the-top-with-pulldowns is fairly similar to an ancient system for some OS / application for developing some flavor of Pascal, I think it ran on Apple IIs.

That was an all-text interface but the idea was similar: one narrow bar that did not take up much real estate, that unfolded into into a big panel or cluster of pull-downs when you wanted it. The "two-dimensional" nature meant that many commands could be fit into one big structure without overwhelming you all at once.

Of course, mouseover was not supported ... that was "before mice".

You had to hit a key or key-combination like "Alt E" to edit. It was considered "user friendly" back then because the letters were chosen for easy-to-remember words, AND they were displayed, so you didn't have to "just know" what the key combos were.

How things have changed! And yet the best, latest solutions sometimes look somewhat like pre-historic, striving solutions.

I still love your Brick Herb Castle, and every time I expect to see Trish on the top, letting her hair hang down. I thought that profuse herbs would be hiding the bricks by now! Too dry?

I agree. Thanks Dave. Looks great!

Neil,

I THINK you have some drainage problems in your front yard.

That moat cause some problems with roots not getting enough air.

No it has no drainage problems at all! It does not need a shrubbery either. The water is called a moat! Specially designed to keep the enemy out, as they would have to swim through that, before getting anywhere near. I fully realize it has only been there since 1123 AD, so it may be a bit modern for some people!
Sorry did not realize that was before America was even known!

I'm jealous. I want a moat around my place. And a drawbridge to keep out wicked neighbors. Hilarious!

Dear eclayne, we do not have alligators, mosquito's or rabies in the UK. We do have a lot of castles with drawbridges and a spiked portcullis, to keep the un welcome away! Most of the castles have slots to pour boiling oil down, just to deter unwanted guests. Of course we do have older ones as well if the modern look is not up to standard. The walls are only 16 feet thick, and that is not thick enough as gunpowder was invented by the Chinese, and canons/howitzers were made to breach the walls. Then of course castles were not much use.
There is pike in the moat and they eat most things!
