Wow... I knew a few of those but I didn't realise there were so many...

I still find myself using the command line to do things like copying files Old habits die hard

To err is human. To ARRR is pirate.

Yes, I am "old school" too. The apprentices at work are always amazed that I can navigate around without the mouse.

In fact, the last trainee we had unplugged my mouse and made me do a list of tasks to try and disprove my statement that you don't need a mouse. Boy was he surprised when I got it all done FASTER that he could with the mouse!!!

Remember - If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem.

Only a couple of days ago I had to do this in front of my students, when the "high-tech" no-wires mouse in our conference room hadn't been charged (or something) and they had to give their dissertation presentations.

A dissertation is a report on a lengthly project, often based on some research. Typically the word is also used to refer to the project itself, as well as the report (as I did above).
