All of which merely convinces me further that the Sun hardware is useless to
me.

I can see the firewall not needing a GUI, but most of the applications we use
seem to work better with a GUI. Otherwise, I'd be quite happy to use Wordstar
for all my word processing needs. But doing EVERYTHING in pure text can get
tedious.

I can use BitchX, for example, and I've had it doing multiple scroll regions,
but an 80x24 text console can get a bit crowded when you have 10 chat windows
open at once.

Sorry if it makes me a wuss not to do things the most difficult way possible,
but I've gotten rather used to having a GUI on my desktop.

My wife and I have pretty much decided to find a new home for the SS20s. So
the project would be pointless, and impossible for me to debug.
