Hello Tom - 

CA>> People have said that a fondness for DOS CLI is a weakness
CA>> but I've really never found that to be true. I think the

CA>> overstated. 

TW> I NEVER had any trouble with a GUI. Even the First time I
TW> sat down in front of an Apple LISA computer things went
TW> smoothly. And my Fixation with DOS is NOT with the CLI but
TW> I just have several DOS programs that I see NO NEED to give
TW> up. One is my Checkbook Program. IT FULLY fills my Needs
TW> and I concider it IDIOTIC to buy a Bloated program with
TW> functions that I would Never use. The other one is my
TW> Favored BBS comm program TELIX. Again the modern BLOATED
TW> programs seem IDIOTIC to me. 

TELIX was my very first PC terminal application on my old XT
machine. I think it was version 2.15 if I remember correctly.
Very good software. 

I started using COMMO after that because it was the fastest
terminal I could find and very very small too. :-)
