[AccessD] Constant copy interruptions

 Amazing is it not?  I'm always amazed that whenever you need to get into
the "guts" of windows, you always end up at the command line.

  Even with some normal stuff (like Exchange), your always working from the
"command let".

  But with that I've got to say, I'd rather work from the command line then
anything else.  Just less stuff to get in your way.

No, tired of the command line he is.  I was using the CPM command line in
1982.  In 2010, TWENTY 
EIGHT YEARS later people are still suggesting the command line.  How sad is
that?

I have a machine which is 1000 times the clock speed, and 10,000 times the
memory and 100,000 times 
the disk storage, a virtual super computer next to my 1982 CPM machine and
Gustav is suggesting the 
command line.

Sigh!

Excuse me but I haven't got time for this conversation, I have to go hitch
the ox to the ox cart to 
go to the village miller now to get some flour to bake my bread.
