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).
