One time some of my folks asked why I use the command line all the time.
One day we needed to add 3 print queues to 50 machines at once. I asked
who wanted to do it how. Person A signed up to wander the halls and add
all 3 to each machine. Person B signed up to sit at her own machine and
run the GUI remotely. I asked them to check in every 10 minutes. Then
I used the GUI on the 3 machines that were cabled to the printers to add
the queues there. Then I typed in a loop to add the first queue on the
other 49. Command line edit for the next 49. Command line edit for the
next 49. At the first check in call the other two folks reported the
queue was already there on a lot of hosts. I invited them to my desk to
look at my screen.

The GUI works extremely well for lots of do-it-once stuff. For the
rest, hire Cindy or me. ;^)

Nah. In recipes it's gueyduck or gooey duck. Either one wins.
