As someone who still remembers Johannesburg in the 1950s, and provides computing support to someone who remembers it in the 1930s, I am only too well aware of how annoying it can be when things don't yield to understanding as fast as we would like.
Fortunately, (unlike the creator, who laboured for six days without a help-desk, and somehow still brought forth all these wonders, visible and unknown, without plotz or complaint), we can always ask.
