May it give him the same joy as the one other looking-for-a-marriage-partner Craigslist post I've heard stories about. (I happened to be in a class with the woman he started dating out of the 50 or 60 date-worthy replies he got, a couple of years after they got married.)

Meanwhile, he may be cheered to know -- though I am ineligible in all the ways kalmn is and a couple of more significant ones -- that recently, when I got a gift Macintosh, I considered it happily set up to my liking as soon as I had it running headless with an SSH login.

I forwarded the link to a geo-and-demographically-appropriate geeky person I know, but I'm afraid that she's heavily GUI-based. ;) Still, that's very cute!

Except that everybody pines after green whereas my nostlagia is amber. *sniff*

I have to admit that sometimes I put my Mac in full-screen terminal mode and find myself inordinately happy.

LOL That's great!

My sister feels that the only serious wrong she may have inflicted on her children, is that she did not make them go to church or Sunday school. She feels like if she had, then like parents who expose their kids to dirt to reduce incidence of adult asthma, they would have developed a heartier immune system against dogma and unreasoned belief.

As much as I like the idea of procreating to create more beings like oneself, people are people and offspring ought to be encouraged to spring in the ways for they are uniquely self-determined... I worry what might happen if the child were forbidden the ways of the GUI... or even worse, not have experience with GUIs understand what it is they are to rebel against?
