Interface.
GUI = Graphical User Interface, IIRC. If I don't RC, someone will
correct me. :)
I went on an explanatory tangent about the difference between the two
for the benefit of my mother just yesterday. She's happier with a
straight GUI. I like at least having *access* to a CLI; I think better
in that space sometimes.
My father thought that GUIs were just a passing fad. My mother didn't
have a computer until 12 years after he died.
