No, I know.  And it wasn't aimed just at Tony.  In fact, it wasn't aimed 
primarily at Tony.

But I was making a serious point too.  Sometimes the CLI is faster and more 
efficient.  Sometimes it is just different.  But I will concede there are 
times when the GUI is much safer.  Here is a good example of what I mean:  
something that is very fast and (too) easy on the CLI - and much safer on the 
GUI!
