Click? I don't understand. What does click mean?
I have a point-and-click newsreader. I forgot people are still using
variants of "rn". :-)
Bloody people who haven't learnt how to use a keyboard - point'n'click
this, point'n'click that.
Is there another way? Oh, I get it! You're talking about those 'mice'
things. I've heard you can use them to 'click' on the x-term you want to
use. How silly.
Actually, I hear that some of the systems with those mice things DON'T
LET YOU DO IT ANY OTHER WAY. I mean, can you imagine? At least in
X-Windows, you just use the mouse-thing to point to the shell session you
want to use. Can you imagine being stuck in a shell where you had to
(shudder) CLICK ON EVERYTHING? And imagine not being able to hit
alt-function keys like use Linux users are used to, to swap between
different terminals... o_O; What a nightmare! I'm sure those
graphical-mice things will enver catch on, though...
