Yes I know but that's what the Manuals were for!

Don't know about you, but they don't ship manuals with anything anymore. Some ship the manual on the CD (as a PDF), and of course if you had no OS to work with, you'd be SOL.

MS-DOS had a manual. Windows 95 did have a manual, although i don't ever recall reading it.

Besides, no one wants to look at a black command-line screen it seems anymore... Too unsophisticated or something...

I get paid to look at and work on black command-line screens as attached.
It's a screenshot from the main menu of 1 of our IBM System i systems.
IBM System i was previously known as eServer iSeries and before that AS/400.

Yeah I know right! I sort of know some of those functions can you run through the names of them in english so I understand them I do not understand Norwegian?

So you work as a clerk in a Bank?

That Must suck HertogJan

See rtcvb32 see how easy it is if you follow instructions AND READ THE MANUAL! makes it so so much easier to understand!

When you're 13, little makes sense technology-wise... :P And believe me, i read more manuals than the rest of my family probably combined...

I was Installing Operating systems and MAKING Doom/Doom II levels at 13 dude! HUGE Doom / Doom II levels! by cutting the Levels in QUARTERS! I got my friend t opost them on the Internet for me in 1996 He got THOUSANDS of E-mails from companies wanting to "Hire" him for Making these levels!

when It was I!!

So what? You can do many useful things in these 7 hours while it downloads FULLY AUTOMATICALLY. You don't have to sit in front of your PC and wait.

I don't work at a bank, but at an ICT company as a support employee.
As such amongst others I do some programming and system management.

It's Dutch, not Norwegian. Unfortunately to my knowledge I don't have access to a machine with an English version of the OS, so I can't attach a screenshot of that. Added translations to the previous screenshot.
Although it's the main menu, I don't use it much. We have our own environments with our own library lists offering us easy access to our own programs and tools.

I have little use for people that get really bent out of shape over things that - while perhaps correct or true - aren't of the "intensity" or seriousness to match the overreaction. What are they like if someone does some other minor thing - like maybe forget to rinse their dish before putting in the sink, or put the windshield washer back in the "wrong" bin or whatever. What are they like when a serious thing happens? Road rager? Good riddence I say... ;p

Galaxy truly is turning into some sort of update-delivering cargo cult. We'll see if the whole process will instantly turn flawless after its release.

But considering the guerrilla warfare some palette choices started after the proto-Galaxy-revamp of the site, I doubt people would show much unterstanding for shortcomings in something actually relevant.
