Actually ... For someone who manages Windows systems for a living I
spend quite a bit of my day at the commandline. And that's why tab
completion is my friend. :-)

Let's not get into the whole windows debate and "WTF is a Windows
Admin doing on a Linux forum?" type of questions. :-) It's the
environment I inherited, "politics," and some badly thought out
projects on my predecessor's part keep Windows in the shop. I just
don't tell anyone just how much linux there actually is in the shop.
