I'd agree with ANYONE who's advocating sensible CLI operating
systems, Jerry! My only reservation is that we should carefully
evaluate every word that wishes to be added - appended? - to our
beautiful language to see whether it's worthy. If we don't,
we'll end up with a messy effect similar to something
called 'Windoze'....
All the best,
