Yes. Keep. The look and pure design clarity of the Original is an Achievement. It's much, much easier to use, on the eyes. Add the features to it. The Yahoo look is brutal by visual comparison.

And you lifted up the lid, just to stuff the end of a stick and somebody's cigarette pack in there, and oh god! ~ There were your sneakers! Your good sneakers! The worn in ones! The fast ones! YOURS!
You yanked them out of there, ASAP, and stomped toward the house to have a talking-to with that mom of yours.
"WHAT are YOU doing THROWING OUT my SNEAKERS!"
"They're old and dirty filthy things. I got you some new ones."
Oh, right!! Geek-a-more newbies. Ones you'll have to wear in the back yard for weeks before you can even venture out on the street again.
"There is supposed to be a transition period, where I can wear the old ones til the new ones are broke in! If I even consider them."

Then you can say, "I moved out because YOU threw away my tennis shoes."
That will fix her wagon. And give the prospective missus an idea about what the rules are, what's advisable and what isn't, all at the same time. |
