It is quite handy & I do read it often. The CLI stuff... I'd have to take a really methodical approach to. At present I have similar distaste for it that I had back in 1980 with Basic, TRS-80, my Vic 20. I went to this computer summer camp, I remember copying code for a Pac Man type game. It didn't work & when the teacher said, "We'll have to go back & see where you mistyped" I was d-o-n-e. I didn't get back into computers till Window 3.11 & to be honest never did learn anything but GUI. CLI is great if you can remember *exactly* what needs to be typed, but my brain doesn't naturally learn like that. I'd have to "study". I'm guessing I'm not grasping the over pattern of thinking with the CLI & once I start really trying to learn, I'll have a breakthrough. Right now it seems like a lot of random, unfamiliar, exact instructions that are seldom used over & I'm pretty sure that can't be the case. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
