I get
frustrated by my machines sometimes. And it's not
their fault.
At work, I spend most of my time on one of two
quad processor IBM RS/6000 AIX boxes; since
I got root and
they got
1
GB of
RAM,
they is way cool!.
At
home I use mostly
Macs, but I also have three
PC's which run
linux.
All right!
The source of my frustration is the
interface, especially across all three boxes.
At times, I try to use
VIkeystrokes on
BBEdit,
Windows accelarators on
MacOS, and I
generally
screw things up with
everybody poking at all sorts of
arcane Unix command sequences that no
reasonable person
understands any longer on each of the other two OS'.
Clearly,
I'm a mess!
Almost every night I
dream that I am using some kind of
computer where
I
simply wave my
hands and manipulate the box.
Is this a holographic dream interface?
I don't know, but this is
something that would work for me.
I am
tired of learning
new sequences
and keystrokes just to do
the same old things like OPEN A FILE.
