Hi all, Yeh, ain't that interestin'? Keeps the mind active, yes indeed it do. It's an active interface instead of a passive one. It forces the brain to assimilate information and to keep the memory sharp. You could run Windows if you had Alsheimers, so long as you remembered what the icons meant. You could just use the arrow keys and work the menus that way if you were blind and using speech, simplist thing in the world. Linux makes you think, makes you want to learn more. Demands more of you, forces you to seek the meaning of obscure language and syntax.
