Once you get past that 20th century-command line mentality, you'll be 
ok. ;) There are billions of people that use computers that never see 
the command line: If it's not on a menu it doesn't exist.
If I install some software it better show up on the menu. Especially if 
I do an 'everything' install, I what to be able to find everything on a 
menu somewhere! I guess that attitude comes from having been a GUI 
designer/builder/programmer for several years.
