I like cli, I like Csh, I like VI I hate the Mac for not having a CLI, I hate DOS for not having a usefull windowing enviorment, I like unix cause its like an AMIGA, Multitasking, Windowing (with X and such) and has a CLI. Of course, you don't have to have gobs of memory or disk space for AmigaDos (well KS20 takes 1MB!, this is on a machine which HAS to load it into memory), but since I don't own the unix I work/play on, I could care less. (student!) Somewhat to the side... I don't know if you have ever tried out Zkick and 2.0, but it amazes me that I can load 2.0 into ram, reboot and get such a very different machine! I mean the screen is totally redesigned, the menus are different, the Icons look different, yet I have not installed AmigaDos 2.0! Any comments?
