That actually sounds like it could be fun to play around with and 
infuriating to try and actually do anything with.

I'm very attached to CLIs. They make so many things so much fater and 
easier. I agree that they're good for some things, but in general I find 
Macs infuriating, even more so than Win95 (not that it doesn't have some 
nice features).
