| nano "Fast, easy, and because it's already there in the CLI, expediant. Does a lot of what I used to use Tomboy Notes for..." |

| lynx "There's a lot of stuff on the web that I can live without. When I go to a news site, I almost feel assulted by pics and video trying to grab more attention than the printed words. Lynx resolves this issue. Another win for the command line..." |
