   The lack of CLI was what prevented me ever investigating a MAC.    
   Somebody brought in one of the very first (with something like 100k   
   of memory) and oohed and aahed over it.  Yet all he could do was   
   run a couple of simplistic programs that came with it.  I asked   
   'where's the editor/assembler/compiler/linker' and got no answer.    
   CP/M was much more powerful.
