</div>I'm sorry, but saying that time spent reading a book or whatever is<br>
money because in that time you could have made money is really twisted<br>
reasoning IMHO. You could just as well say time is muffins (it's<br>
allmost dinner time here ;))<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Actually believe it or not, time spent reading a book etc. IS money. Funny you should use that example as I just got emailed a book suggestion off list by someone participating in this conversation, my specific response?</div>
<div><br></div><div>"I will have to read the book, but it may be a while as I am literally taking vacation from my full time work at the moment to catch up on my freelance work." (Paraphrase)</div><div><br></div>
<div>Time IS Money. The time it would take me to read that book is quite literally an investment for me, and right now I need to invest that time into making money rather than spending it due to an upcoming financial situation I see in my near future.</div>

</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I didn't say that. Of course a base level of user friendliness is<br>
welcome, I would never bother with LFS, but here we were talking about<br>
no need to use a terminal, which is a way way way higher level of user<br>
friendliness.<br>
<div class="im">.....<br>
</div>yes, you're right, user friendliness isn't evil and I don't actually<br>
dislike it, I just don't want it to get in my way. But again I never<br>
said "I don't want a user friendly system".<br>
<br>
I really think that yours was a knee-jerk response, you labeled me as<br>
the hardcore-terminal-only guy and went with that, without actually<br>
thinking of what I had written.<br>

<div><br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I allready stated more or less this, but I'd like to say it again, in
other words. If I wanted a user friendly OS, I wouldn't be using linux,
but probably OSX.</blockquote><div class="gmail_quote"><div><br></div><div>Which is exactly what you typed, and the way it is typed indicates that you are not using OS X because it is user friendly, which as I pointed out I don't think is what you actually meant. I never stated anything about you being a hardcore terminal user, whether you are or are not is not really part of my point anyways, but rather I stated that that specific statement is a fallacy for the reasons I gave.</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>Just for the sake of clarity, I was picking on your response, not on you yourself;) Also for the record, I enjoy using the terminal myself in any OS often for various reasons.</div><div><br></div>
