This is such an interesting point. Interesting as in terrifying.

Thank you for that. I one of the reasons I liked the story was the embedded poetry. It adds a mindful stillness that creates a poignancy.

Thank You for this. I am also making some simple things and have been using bash with a CLI as the UI, but asking folks to use a CLI in this day and age is a bit much. This idea se…

Yes, this is my opinion as well. I did my MCSE certification on win2k and their stuff was good back then, even on that old hardware. You had to beg it to BSOD.
