In trying to start VS I accidentally clicked the Blend icon (because they're identical - ya THAT was a great idea), and 20 minutes later Blend finally appeared so I could close it. All the while a tray notification was up saying "Microsoft Blend is busy...".
And I'm sitting there thinking "DOING WHAT THAT TAKES 20 MINUTES FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!"
WTF could Blend POSSIBLY be doing that takes 20 minutes to load???
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Blending your personal information with the data on the cloud servers, maybe?

They really aren't identical - the symbols are different, as are the colours. If it's your first time in Blend, it does a lot of configuration initially.

The colours(colors) (FTFY  ) are identical, but the Blend icon has a little 'B' in it, which is WAAAAY to small for an old guy like me to see.
Not my first time opening it.

Oh, you're still using 2015 then. There's a lot of network traffic goes on in that version of the Visual Studio "suite".

There is a site that will tell you: Will It Blend?[^]
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I just noticed that Outlook will provide spelling suggestions for Bluetooth, Arduino, and Samsung, Linux and Ubuntu, but if you put in macOS you get nothing.
Really?

Heh - thanks. The humor was aimed at academics and intellectuals - people like you and me.

I agree. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Outlooks 2003 & 2010 offer the alternatives you'd expect, so it must be one of the "great improvements" that ms developers have spent their time on, since then.
God forbid that they should fix bugs or add anything useful.

Remember the days of BBS's and 1200baud modems? Well I took a volunteer job in a state park that is so far out that the Hot Spot that I got for internet out here is like having 1200 baud. Takes literally for freaking ever to load pages...when they load. But better than nothing...barely.
God give me the patience...

Upgrading the internet connection seems like a good first task for an IT volunteer.

I'm not an IT volunteer, I help maintain the place and do trail maintenance for hiking trails in the area. I'm the guy that lugs a chain saw into the middle of no where so he can cut up a tree to remove it from the trail.

Exactly. The compression algorithm is quite impressive but still, it's smoke signals. It will be slow.
