Dear Umesh,

    I am touched by your candid revelations about your hard won
    techniques and contrivances. I have seen what native artisans can
    achieve in some of the remotest areas of the world and I always
    marvel at the ingenuity of these craftsmen. I sometimes wonder if
    those of us who are dependent on commercial hardware might not have
    lost a significant amount of our potential creativity to the
    convenience of buying a ready made solution. It suggests that a
    mindset of doing things that can only be done using commercially
    available media, techniques and tools may be one that is constricted
    and under-challenged.
