In my aged and inflexible opinion, whatever shell one is used to is the best tool, and attempts by all parties to assert the superiority of their personal favorites are ridiculous.

Then again, I still use vi, so what do I know? -- Barney Wolff http://www.databus.com/bwresume.pdf I never met a computer I didn't like.Received on Thu May 05 2005 - 13:39:31 UTC
