This should be in technical but...

Essentially yes, but I prefer white/light grey on black, or black on white. The old reflection one of white on a dark green background was easy on the eye as well.

Got to be black background for me, I hate white backgrounds due to floaters in my eyes being more noticeable.

Client co tonight...

I am fuming a this..

Get your DB file.

Take a branch of a subversion repo head and
place your 17K line script into a new branch

Tag branch

Put your branch tag and file details into excel spreadsheet.

press a button on the spreadsheet

produces XML from macro which you place into a different SVN repo

check it in

Set up a jenkins job that takes the script and produces a zip file that places your script in a zip file

You upload the zip file in another system and the script gets run.

Who the feck thought that up.

A ****?

You have my sympathy

Absolutely loath the DOS prompt (or whatever it's called these days).

Absolutely love Bash. Well worth learning to use it effectively imho.

First software to be installed on a new Windows machine is Cygwin usually.

As for colours, definitely white on black, with coloured prompt and 'ls' highlighting enabled.

I do my job 100% in a command line interface. So it's unix / linux but...

Anybody else still use the old green text on black background terminal to get the job done?

Green on black, yes.

And vim, oh yes.

ZOC for terminal emulation and korn shell

Can't be arsed with a poll.

The good old green on green phosphor screens were gentle on the eyes. I often customise command windows as green on green. I also still have a working CPM system with a green screen, it is connected to the net and is indestructible it has been up for 15 years without a reboot.

Dude, I consider notepad a luxury.

Has anyone else tried Xerox's new "graphical" user interface? It's available on other platforms now too, and is quite a revelation once you get used to it. You use this pointing device, called a "mouse" to move a little arrow around the screen and "click" on buttons or options to make things happen, meaning no need to learn 150 different obscure command line options. A lot of people are hopeful this will finally move computers on from being a toy for a small number of sandle wearing, mother-living geeks to a useful tool for ordinary people to use in every day tasks.
