I think I know exactly how you feel, Michael. It took me less than an ho= ur to get my mount/umount command line skills back into practice and I'm = remembering the benefits of NOT having auto-mount. I also use XFE as a f= ile manager (always had it on hand on my TDE desktop, too) and it has som= e handy abilities that I find useful, like script support. I can write m= y own scripts that XFE can execute on demand for particular file-types.= =20=20 Although=20I really like TDE, it does make a person "lazy" in some ways. = ;) > PPS: there's an article "on the harm of the friendly interfaces" > written by Victor Wagner some 20 years ago or so (in Russian); > some of us might find it thoughtful these days too: > http://wagner.pp.ru/~vitus/articles/user-friendly.html; > I found Yandex translation legible enough to relay it: > https://translate.yandex.ru/translate?url=3Dhttp://www.wagner.pp.ru/~vi= tus/articles/user-friendly.html > lang=3Dru-en > (the funny bit being "friendly" term explanation and PATH/30 > glitches; "thingy" would rather be "thingness", "being obsessed > with things')).
