Well the one and only time I configured an interface on windows from the command line I couldn't believe I had to type
some great big string to identify the interface, of course I had looked up how to do it on the internet so there may
have been a shorter way to do it.
I guess coming from a history of starting out on an IBM 1130 and proceeding thru Burroughs, NCR and Data General OSes and hardware
I just got used to understanding at a very low level and doing things without the help of some fancy GUI.
