Please don't tell us how to use our computers.

I find X and pixel-ized window systems in general (SUN especially) 
to be a pain in the eyes for doing straight text work.  As the 
sole techie in sales at Streamlined Networks, I get dragooned into the troff
part of our brochures, and that's why I use X.  When I lay out stuff,
I edit it in nice big letters with VI on one screen and xtroff it on the
X screen.  Text in X is also painfully slow.

Tool makers don't tell tool users how to use tools.
