Why do you think I consider the GUI quite poor? At the price of replace-
ment shirts it doesn't take many GUIs to make ME poor. I must need a new
notebook. I hear the one called "Etch-A-Sketch" is quite nice, and the
"erase" functions well. It even has a more advanced GUI that doesn't ruin
shirt pockets. The command line interface sucks, though.
