Useful? Funny you should mention that. "Dismiss as useless and stupid"? 
Its only you  that keeps doing that. A remarkable example of the purest 
hypocrisy.

Do you really think you have ever posted anything that would be useful 
to anyone on this forum it its entire history?  Everything you have 
posted over the years can be quite fairly summarised as the following 
advice to new and naive users :  Mathematica is full of "bugs", and 
other evil and perverse things, and  worse, was  created by a guy whose 
guts I hate, so give it up and use instead my own favourite CAS, which 
years ago I helped to make. Oh, and don't mind that it is practically 
defunct and useless nowadays.

Well, this comment just shows typical shallowness of thinking and lack 
of knowledge and well as manners.
Has it ever occurred to you that here (in Japan) people generally do not 
use shoelaces?
