Well that would be 100% false as XML is a text file.

@jaredbusch Ok, a PLAIN text file.

Is much easier than her doing it in XML.

@jaredbusch Yes, in this case no one uses the computer, it's just setup for display. No one except her uses it.
So YES.

Correct, it doesn't scroll, but it can display static information, which is what you're describing.

Yes but she wants it to scroll several different things.
