- If you are wondering why I like "brain-dead" interfaces so MUCH it is
- because I have been using computers since 1963 (IBM 1620 punched-card system!).
- Anything that does the work for me is much better than making me do the
- work. It is called "working smart not working hard." I have used DOS,
- Unix, IBM JCL, DEC PDP-10 command language, Concurrent CSS, etc., etc.
- When I log on to CI$, I can find what I want without help, I just hate
- all the work needed to find it! On AOL, I point-and-click!
