I sometimes long for the days of text only consoles and no mice. Speed and accuracy in typing were king.

Cool Beans! definitely with the bookmarky for this...

Yeah, there are days when I long for pure text and no spam... although between being able to download a whole CD in something resembling a reasonable amount of time and what those old unshielded CRT's did to my thyroid, I'm not so sure... and I always admire those who can and do still bend it the old-fashioned way. (which reminds me, I should learn how to do UUCP some time.)

But I still enjoy being able to tell those young whippersnappers lusting after fiber-to-the-desktop that I remember when we had 300 baud and liked it...
