Yeah, that's what made me laugh when I read it; imagining "billions"
of MS *.bat programmers.

It would be yet more useful if you'd not have restricted your script
to Bash and Linux. The script is so primitive (i.e. it has no special
features) that it can be written in standard shell for any standard
Unix.

Hints: use no "read -p" and no "[[...]]". And I'd replace 'echo' by
'printf' for a good measure (and also less [unnecessary] escaping).
