Well, that's nice in theory, but I like to see the system actually being 
used.  For us admin types, a command line isn't something to be feared, 
but desired.  Average BBS users want a soft, colorful and fluffy 
interface.  Not a stone cold and grey COMMAND>.
 
I hate mice, and windows.  :P  And may commit suicide when some knucle 
head comes out with a fully implemented point and shoot BBS software and 
companion terminal software for full mouse support.  My god, it would be 
just like....just like...Prodigy!  There, ya made me say it....
 
I'm going to go sulk now....I think I'm going to be sick...
