Hmm... interesting.

I'd say it looks more like a BBS to me than any sort of command-line
client, but then I put a lot of time in on real VT100s with white or
amber phosphor and substantially less time on terminals with green
phosphor.

It's cute, but I can see it getting annoying after not so much time.

I may have to pull this out to annoy _others_, though (I've lost track
of how many folks asked me why I was using "DOS" when I had multiple
term windows open on a Linux box).
