For 5 years I didn't use more or terminal eumulators.  Just press a key,
type the file name, and poof - a full editor on it, no matter which machine
it was on, in which network, in which building.  Or if I prefered,
point the mouse at the filename, click a button... there was the file.

Now of course I use X, and I'm back to psuedo terminals again.  Oh well.

I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept      responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate   everyone else's.
