[ale] What happened to the command line

[Jeff Lightner]

You could make the transition from Chemist to Systems Administrator -
then you'd then get to play with far more computers than you sometimes
want to do.  (Unfortunately this happens often enough at 3 AM to take
some of the enjoyment out of it.)  I made the transition from Accounting
many years ago.  Of course you sometimes have to take a cut in pay to
make the leap if you're far enough up in the first profession.

8-) No. Worse, I'd have trouble selling a full course meal at a 
discount to a starving person with the product on a tray in front of 
me. Chemist by training, not an entirely successful parent by fate 
(having trouble launching the last one - anybody here have a need/use 
for a moderately artistic young adult with a known enthusiasm for 
architecture?), with a bad computer habit that I need to learn how to 
support...
