Why do GUI users always feel the need to brow-beat, cajole or otherwise
push everyone into using the GUI? ;-) Each to his own!

Tony is just joking. I'm sure that at tea time he doesn't pull out a
picture book!
No, I know. And it wasn't aimed just at Tony. In fact, it wasn't aimed
primarily at Tony.
But I was making a serious point too. Sometimes the CLI is faster and more
efficient. Sometimes it is just different. But I will concede there are
times when the GUI is much safer. Here is a good example of what I mean:
something that is very fast and (too) easy on the CLI - and much safer on
the GUI!

I have 'accidently' dropped a file and it takes to long find it :-) '
krusader et al are compelling though.
