Vt100 rocks...in 132chars per line mode. Amber.


That is how I have my OSX terminal - amber on black, with 20% transparency.

Still, I thought the X CDE was great when on a massive Trinitron screen (for the day, 1992) 1280x1024 21".

I could get 4x 132x24 windows - good for debugging - with no overlap.


I do lust after 2x 30" Apple displays, though.

As my old boss used to say, GUIs come and go, but the CLI is forever.

Huh? Don't understood a word...

Here's another joke instead!

Bloke desperate for a drink, finally winds up drinking varnish. He came to a terrible end (but a beautiful finish).

Groan.

Philistine! May you be forever condemned to a voice-activated interface that ignores your commands, while taking the piss out of your accent.
