Ever count the number of steps and the time involved in dumping your
load, then successfully wiping your arse with the goal of avoiding the
"brown sweats?"

Why do you presume that a simple 6-step procedure, 2 steps of which
are downloading open-source programs, would take a week to complete?

Oh, I get it. Sarcasm. Humor. Arr, arr.

It took no more than 6 minutes to complete the described process,
including the 3 downloads and the 600MB data transfer to the shuffle.
