> Richard Stallman (2002) I don’t know how to make a screenshot, because I normally use my computer in text-mode. I have X and GNOME installed, but I use them only occasionally.

Does anyone else find this quote completely absurd? What a ridiculous disconnect from modern computing, even in 2002, to use text-mode.

Stallman has always been pretty anachronistic. Sometimes I think he's trolling us: http://lwn.net/Articles/262570/

"For personal reasons, I do not browse the web from my computer. (I also have not net connection much of the time.) To look at page I send mail to a demon which runs wget and mails the page back to me. It is very efficient use of my time, but it is slow in real time."

That's actually a pretty awesome idea against impulsive browsing. The most frequent kind of browsing.
