I assume that it's well known the bids on free falls is not working? I've been trying to snag two for about 24 hours and every time I submit I get an error and the price resets. Very frustrating.

Now hear this...

Deeeeep breaths, slowly inhale, slowly exhale.
This is no different that the Army, 'ceptin perhaps there are no bullets.
Nobody has or will die because of all this...
that's it... more deeeeep breaths. Find the humor. Find your happy place...
imagine youre in a canoe on a still lake, early morning mist on the water, flyrod in hand, smoking a nice Ghurka.
Ok, that kinda killed the allusion... sub the Ghurka with a real cigar of your choice.
Breathe.

I'm available by PM if you need personal prayer attention.

RMAN,

I have a 40 year old RCA buried deep in the garage. It's a Classic.
I can dig it out for you and get it on the way if'n you're deprived. Would be fabulous for watching reruns of Glee !!!

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ah

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high

Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ah




Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ah
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ah
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds

IT dorks have to work, I suppose, I can see no other rationale for the change.

The rationale is given in my post, above:

1. Mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) are hugely popular and constitute a huge share of browsing.

2. The world's most popular search engine is heavily penalizing sites that have separate desktop and mobile versions.

3. That penalizing causes very large drops in sales and market share, so it must be avoided at all costs.

4. It's very EASY to adapt a simple, feature-light, small mobile device layout for a desktop monitor (you just stretch it and make it way too large)

5. It's very DIFFICULT to adapt a complex, feature-rich, large desktop layout to a tiny smartphone screen and have it be sufficiently readable and usable.

Thus, most companies are switching to a single "responsive" site that is designed for mobile devices, and they more or less just stretch that dumbed-down mobile layout to fit desktop monitors. Some sites make an effort to offer desktop-only enhancements that use the desktop's larger size for something useful, but usually it's pretty weak (nowhere close to the usefulness of a native desktop layout), and many don't even bother at all.

Result: desktop users get screwed with an oversimplified layout, fewer features, giant buttons and text, etc. Their giant monitors and ultra-precise mouse/pointer selection devices no longer get used to anything near their full potential, and they just get huge, stretched smartphone layouts that are lame and wasteful.

Because, we all have to worship at the altar of the holy 5-inch screens and big, fat, imprecise tapping fingers.

It really sucks, but that's why.
