I have some thoughts about your post, but I think that now is not the
time to bring them up.  After all, this thread is titled "Help for a
CoCoNut" and I think that is a noble cause regardless of the rest.

I have been compiling a side by side comparison chart showing the
various features and performance of different options available for
doing the types of things you mention, and in time I will post it
somewhere.  Should be good fun :)  But that is for another day.
