700 files!  :)  Never a problem here back in my DOS days.  :)   However 
today I do have a few folders with close to that inside them.  But by and 
large I keep em pared down, drop stuff off onto CDR.

Depends on what you get used to.   I like GUI's. :)


I think the Lx world finally came to the table with them as well.  But the 
nice thing about Lx is you can do as you wish; want to use command lines - 
do it!  Want to use a GUI, then load KDE or Gnome - and probably some 
others out there as well?
