Huh? I don't know a single person who ENJOYS going to the doctor, or needing medical treatment. What are you on about?

What about an end user, to whom say, you sell a tablet with software they asked you to write. It works like a champ. If they close it, odds are having a shortcut on the desktop they can just tap to re-open it would be most welcome. No?

Late to the thread so this will probably get buried. My spouse and I have seen these things flying for __years__ around the northern Baltimore area. They even had patterns. Recently, we have been hearing what sound like Apache helicopters a
