Just let me sort this so we can see the first example. Now this test is what I'm going to use throughout for all these patterns using the collapsible Dev page, where we go to the page, we click on the Dev to expand it, then we wait somehow for the about link, and then find and click on the link. And here I'm using a thread sleep, so we simply don't want to do this. Now, I gain most flexibility by creating a new wait each time I need it.
