Lit: Located in a convenient place (contributor: Amatuka)

ところ in the first example and that in the second example has
completely different meaning, like apples and oranges! (contributor:

hmm, are they different enough to require different entries? i guess thats
what you're saying.. (contributor: dc)
Not necessarily. The commentary added to 'tokoro' in linking it to
'tokorode' should work. (contributor: bamboo4)
agreed. ex #1107 and ex #3467 mean 'place'. So it shouldn't be
considered a grammar. So can be safely removed. ex #3466 has a quite
different meaning from the remaining two. Here is 〜ところを :
〜という状況、場面（を）and + 動詞 at the back.
〜たところ has two meanings:
1. ちょっと前に〜終わった, 今〜終わったばかり
； just (finished doin some action)
2. 〜たらその結果.... ；once one had just〜, then it
is known that/found out that .... (contributor: 誠)
In ex #3465, I think there the ろ being missed out in どころか,
それどころか、今始めたところです (contributor: 誠)
