While reading the the Eternal War, I noticed that as
usual it degrades into anti-window/mouse people saying that
they want a choice, they don't want to be FORCED into using a mouse.
Well, you aren't! just buy Manx's Aztec C Shell for about $70.
You'll have all the power of DOS (more, actually) availible at your
keyboard! and you can even redefine the Unix-style commands to have
DOS names!! (using your favorite DOS methods, command files!!)
Plus, for those wanting simple Text interfaces to the screen or
keybaord  you can run programs under the shell or finder that use
(guess what!) printf! and scanf! Oh no!  

Disclaimer: I have no connection with Manx Systems. They were just the
first ones with direct 68881 support, so i bought theres.
