For those Gmail users out there:
Click "Settings" / "Themes" and choose the _Terminal_ theme.
It gives you a (kind of) cool terminal looking theme within a web
browser when logged in to you Gmail.
Hmm... interesting.
I know: many purists out there use Pine, Elm, and the
like... but
there are a few that need to use browsers when reading email for
whatever reason (myself included) on occasion.
I just enjoy seeing the green font/black background scenario on my
monitor whenever possible :-)
I'd say it looks more like a BBS to me than any sort of command-line
client, but then I put a lot of time in on real VT100s with white or
amber phosphor and substantially less time on terminals with green
phosphor.
It's cute, but I can see it getting annoying after not so much time.
I may have to pull this out to annoy _others_, though (I've lost track
of how many folks asked me why I was using "DOS" when I had multiple
term windows open on a Linux box).
