 no, but frankly it's irrelevant. Datacenters w/all
their computing power comprise an utter minute
fragment of the earth's total computing power. Some
would rather not utilize a gui, and in some instances
it's better not to, no argument. It's not that there
aren't instances where you shouldn't make use of one,
just that it's practical these days to do so. You
wouldn't want to have little Johnny remembering scores
of arcane cryptic commands just to run StickyBears,
would you? (is StickyBears still around even LOL LOL).
