Yeah but how long did it take you to write the scripts to be able to click
those buttons? And how many times did you resort to using the menus of a
program when you could have just written a script that would do what you
want. Perfect examples are cdrecording packages. I have learned my
lesson. I came from an all windows background. The first day I used a
Linux machine I had to compile a kernel. The freedom I would never give
up. I now hate that point and click stuff. I was once like you. We all
like what is familiar. Once you get used to using a shell you will be
much happier.
