@MayorBloomberg: it was a joke man! cheer up!

@gizgizgiz: friends? not really no. im not an easy person to get along with.

@waclark57: yes, a long winded command can be difficult, but using the command line is no harder than trying to find a single checkbox fifteen menus down in a GUI either. six one way, half a dozen another

@MayorBloomberg: so you are saying this is *worse* than the android rogue app story? sweet! more vindication!

"but the process requires using the UNIX command line and this may be complicated for most consumers."

back when cray's were also considered chic decor!

my wife had her cake person make a Tux cake as the grooms-cake at our wedding. of course she's as much a geek as i am. ;)
