For some situations, I agree. For configuring something, I prefer sometimes the text mode in a configuration file. For example, I like more the httpd.conf configuration file for Apache web server, than the graphical interface of Internet Information server of microsoft. But I don't like the command line and text mode for tasks that I have to do more often, like copying, renaming, deleting, moving, editing files, reading mail, browsing the web, etc. Teddy, orasnita at home.ro ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Snow" <alex_snow@xxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, May 25, 2002 4:23 PM Subject: Re: interesting experiment. > I have to admit, I kinda like gui.
