Maybe you are, but even so, do you still use V7 on a PDP/11 or 32V on a VAX,
make dumps to DECtape, or use a VT100? There's something to be said for
modern PC hardware, xterms/gnome-terminal/konsole/screen, and yes, ssh.
(Namely speed, convenience, and security, respectively).

I went through a stage of using Linux with xman, xeyes, xterm, twm, etc.,
until I realised I was much more productive using KDE help and
konsole/screen and kwin/WindowMaker.
