A bit testy aren't we?  Take a chill pill man, you'll feel better.  :o)
Problems with you?  No, I have problems with the war in Iraq and the bad 
government we have, but you constitute a very miniscule spec in all 
that.

I won't get into the semantics of curses gui or kde gui, as it all looks 
like a way to work with a program graphically to me.  Maybe in your 
analytical mind you don't see the graphical side of it, but many others 
like that aspect rather than using the terminal.   You don't have to 
change to gui on my account, some old computer guys don't do well with 
changes.

Don't use ImageMagick huh?  I guess that is your bad then, since you 
usually give everybody the impression you do use the things you write 
about.  I guess in your zeal, you just overstepped a bit.

Terminal or gui, each to their own, but since most like to work with a 
gui, many times, it helps to let them know it's possible to do so when 
they ask.

I use to blow smoke, but don't now, it made me cough a lot.  I give it 
up for more useful pursuits, like computing.  :o)

regards,
Lee, but you can call me Sam
