One of the criticisms of our style which limits the linux-user
population, was eg. `man date` is 196 lines; whereas DOS
is: `date`  [case insensitive IIRC] and it shows you what its
current value is, AND gives you the syntax just to fill in.

You can't beat that for HCI.

So if/when some magic new hardware arrives, like USB
[USB is very complex], and the hardware monopolists
decide not to release *nix drivers, because of the small
user population [who are very sensitive about any criticism];
can we "ride-on" Mac & Android, who don't have the
problem of tribal warfare, restricting their population?
