Microsoft haters will utter any excuse to downplay its GUI. Those naysayers are just as pathetic as those who claim that a CLI is obsolete or overly burdensome. If you want to use a GUI, then use it. If not, then use a CLI or whatever suits your fancy. Honestly, this whole thread has deteriorated to a group of old wash women debating molecular science. The fact that they have not got all their facts correct never caused them to miss a beat. -- Jerry ✌ freebsd.u...@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
