Yes, point taken absolutely ;)) I do this now and again - generally, I
steer clear of areas like the command line, especially around beginners,
but occasionally I forget my manners and start talking techie :(

Unfortuantely, with the state of linux GUI development, there are still
some things quicker with the command line... of course, with Windows it's
the other way around, but then, Windows never had a proper command line
anyway ;)
