List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: My concern for the redhat purchase by AOL is this. While I am no expert programmer, from my experience doing it, I can see how to array images as variables without text and click on one of them to launch a particular module. So whether Linux is text based or not, the concept is the same. Write the software to act on a graphical interface and forget the command line. I could be wrong and I hope that I am, but that is what I think. Irrespective of whatever the situation may be, we will need to do the advocacy to insure the text interface. -- Charlie Crawford.
