You say ppl today are not command line savvy, yet they can text with their thumb almost as fast as I can touch type. Txting on cell phones and posting on twitter are text centric, yet ppl quail before a command line. It's crazy. Granted, I was introduced to Microsoft with PC-DOS, plus I touch type, so I'm no stranger to the CLI. In fact, I despise the mouse. Hate having to reach for it. In everything but graphics, it's a drag. But, it has its place. People are hung up on GUIz and the mouse merely cuz they're lazy, not stupid. They learned the mouse and it's enough, so leave 'em alone. People are militant about their laziness. "I don't want to learn a quicker way!" Makes 'em feel stupid. "I LIKE my mouse!!". Fine. I say let 'em stew in their ignorance. No skin off my arse. ;) nb
