In my opinion, any remaining magic cookie terminals should be thrown
from a window on the 20th floor.  Or perhaps "accidentally" hooked up
to 220 volts so that you can watch them explode.  Any company that
still manufactures magic cookie terminals should get the same treatment.

Seriously, magic cookies are so incredibly braindamaged that everyone
ought to pretend that these terminals can't do highlighting at all.
I think it's dumb to even TRY to make programs work correctly with
magic cookies.

No flames please.  Just an opinion.
