   Indeed. A friend of mine is a complete Linux newbie and a total   
   computer illiterate. He loves the command line interface.  If he has a   
   problem he only needs to copy & paste my answer into a terminal, and   
   his problem is fixed. That's a lot easier than sending screenshots and   
   describing where to click.
