The Command Line in 2004

My favorite quote from the above:
"I, too, adventured in the realm of zoomy CPU-meter lights,
hacker techno-geek chic, machine-language softswitch
twiddling, fuzzy grayscale GIFs of porn stars, and spent
endless caffeinated hours diagnosing IRQ and baudrate
settings so I could play Duke Nukem with my friend Brent.
Then something wonderful happened: I got tired of
computing for it's own sake, and started seeking software
and hardware that was not an end unto itself, but an
efficient means to complete a task."
