My mother used DOS commands to load fonts in her printer back when it was necessary. She'll still use any series of command I'll write down for her. On the other hand she does not know what a "window" or a "click" are despite working all day in a GUI. If I ever try to explain her anything that involves the GUI she'll get mad at me because she does not know how the various GUI objects are named (or behave) and does not want to learn. Terminals are not about technical users. Sometimes they're the only tool for total computer illiterates. -- Nicolas Mailhot
