Windows on Mac

I hadn’t thought of the necessary Win license; whilst you can buy such licenses, out of corporate packages, for 10$/€, they are not always recognized as valid by MS, so it’s not as simple as I had presented it above, and perhaps it’s more realistic to say, 80 plus VAT for the tool, plus 80 plus VAT for the Win license, which would make it 200$/€ in all (the free tool which would then just need to buy the Win license, reputedly coming with limitations).

Plot holes

\CR\ (romantic comedy): Mr. and Mrs. Smith (Hitchcock 1941, Lombard, Montgomery)
\CC\ (criminal comedy): Mr. and Mrs. Smith (Liman 2005, Pitt, Jolie, Brody, b110 bo487)

The second produced a box-office of about 500 million (numbers from wikipedia which gets them from Mojo = amazon, who else…), which is enormous, and that in spite of - SPOILER AHEAD as they say - an equally enourmous plot hole. As such, they call logical story fails, and here, two “professional killers for hire” (which is a cinema myth to begin with, secret services and terrorist organizations having their own killers, and they certainly don’t get 6- or 7-digit fees per “hit”), married to each other and not knowing that the other one is in their own trade, are set up onto each other, by some organization, in order to kill each other. This is very funny and enjoyable, even for the organization (well, as long as the latter one doesn’t realize both fail miserably), but the question remains why the organization would spend millions just for fun, instead of just hiring a third killer, for a fraction of that, to do away with both.

Anyway, this (b-o) “hit” amply proves that whenever the fun is enormous, even a giant plot hot will be happy accepted; not so in general, and in general, plot holes appear within the story, not at its very beginning, forming its very base in some way.

So, for fiction writers, my remarks above about UR’s tree (entries) formatting (incl. the possibility of hiding or displaying those formats one-by-one) should be of real interest, in this special context to create reminder items in order to avoid possible plotholes (and also to remind you of ideas you would like to develop, or similar, then, hence the different colors).

It seems that in Ul, there’s no way to smoothly intercalate such “reminders” of all sorts between your “text items”, and if there is no such facility, you will have to organize your “reminders” in some other way.

Just a reminder. ;-)
