    Another example of humans being smarter than machines. We must teach the machine what is correct: longarm! Aha! I just had to correct my spell-check!

    This reminded me of a comment overheard at a quilt show once - there were 2 women standing in front of the quilt admiring it, and one said to the other; "This was quilted by a longarm quilter. I could never make a quilt; my arms are too short."
