That was a good read and a perspective on Unix that I've not seen before.
I sort of fit with the author's view, I like to read and I like to write.
I am much happier typing than clicking.
Don't get me wrong, I live on Linux and it has made some stuff pleasantly
clickable. I use virtual desktops, I have 6 of them. There are xterms
in 5 out of 6, the last one has firefox. I click but I mostly live in
terminal windows. Which are all 80 columns because that's the right
width (I can go on and on about that).
