This is how we usually do it. We call them caprese sandwiches.

Years ago, my parents decided to upgrade from windows 3.0 to windows
95. Unfortunately, the old computer was able to run it well, so it
slowed down the computer. My mom got so frustrated that she put
windows into the trash can and emptied the trash. Apparently, the
programmers never considered somebody like my mom, so it actually
worked. I had to transfer all the files off with dos so that we could
redo the hard drive.

<grin> The dangers of trying to mimic real-world concepts in a digital
world.

But I must admit it can be quite satisfying to type do "# rm -rf /"
(does something similar) on a box that needs to be re-built after
hardware failure, or when it needs to be de-commissioned.

Since XP windows has become a bit more admin-friendly, but now it
suffers from verbal diarrhea. I easily can remember something like
"ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.10/24". To do the same thing in windows, it
becomes something like "netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area
Connection" source=static addr=192.168.10.10 255.255.255.0". Looks like
somebody got told to 'make it possible through the command line, so we
can shut up the detractors, but make it so difficult that we can still
claim GUI is faster. Oh, and don't make it easy to find'

IBM did right with AIX and smitty: they implemented the best of both
worlds, with a GUI (text-based if all you had was a text console) that
showed the command-line equivalent with one keypress (F5 or F6 IIRC).
Pity lots of the commands were a bit verbose.

Ooh thanks for that! I like that idea. :-)
What's it dressed with?

Next time I make the "mini-caprese" appetizers for potluck, I'll have to
take pics. I just did not have time last time!

They are made with either cubes or pre-made grape sized balls of the
cheese and a frilly toothpick. <g>

Well, everybody's different. I have an excellent memory, and
I find that intuitive programs are only intuitive if you think the
way the designer did.

Little bit of good olive oil, sprinkle of salt. Sometimes a drizzle of
balsamic vinegar.

Oh, I almost made caprese kabobs for the thing on Saturday, but someone
in the group is allergic to raw tomatoes, so I skipped it.

Hm, I guess what I mean by intuitive is that the icons and drop down
menus make logical sense and are well organized. :-) All I have to do is
to look at the screen to tell what I need to do...

Similar to what I do but I do add a little pepper to that. :-)

Cheers!

I never thought of kabobing more than one bite like that tho'.
Interesting idea! It'd make it easier for each person in line to take a
good portion.
