Yeah, this LS thang is fast.  But it's so darn weird I don't know if I can
deal with it.  It beats the Manx LS (which I'm quite happy with overall) 
for speed, but it lists the directories from left to right.  I mean, it looks
like it prints the whole left column, then the next column, and so on, so the
whole thing just sort of sweeps on to the screen.  I'm just not used to seeing 
stuff like this on a text screen.

Anyone else find it disconcerting?
