Life on the Line

Hey, what's with all this text? Where are my windows?

I can't launch any windows today. I think something's wrong with me.

Maybe you should see a doctor.

I've run some tests, and I'm afraid I have bad news.

Nooo!

You only have a command-line interface...it's terminal.

Don't worry, that computer will be fine. Terminal mode just means you have to type all your commands and read everything in plain text.

Back when I first started using computers, there were no graphical windowed interfaces. We did everything on the command line, and we liked it. I had to program uphill both ways, in magnetic tape three feet deep.
