I have not seen this list before Steve, but even so, I
had no clue from the F1 help integral to MC that there
was any further functionality to look up.
I never used Norton; when I had money to spend, it was
on hardware; I always figured I could download freeware
or shareware to do what I wanted. I am much more of a
hot solder hardware hacker (dribbling hot solder on a
motherboard is a real rush), and as such I prefer the
cli so as to, as much as possible, isolate problems
from GUI software from hardware issues.
But for sure, geeks like me are a tiny minority, niche
market, so I tend to forget how dedicated, or addicted,
as some would call it, to the GUI the vast majority of
users are.
