It just goes to show ... well, something worthy of a PhD dissertation, most likely. Something in the vein of:-
Text based (
eg, UNIX, DOS
et al) database interfaces were entirely adequate, and (it may be argued ... and I
do) probably more efficient than contemporary GUI-based ones. So why does everyone insist on having what they (in their led-by-the-nose manner) see as the "latest stuff"? As in, "it must be the Bee's Knees, coz it runs on Windows, and yer clicks on a mouse and all that" (or whatever)!

@Dave ... not heard of RHIP, then?
