No pico, nano, or other tool that provides visual prompting. <br><br></div>The idea is to force a paradigm shift the same way as learning a language - total immersion.<br><br></div>The general expectation is people can learn. Computers are currently used to take over the thinking process instead of supplement it. There are many areas where computer use is great, web browser being one - it enhances and make possible things that were not possible before. But many places, computer use makes people dumber and lazy. Just people _can_ learn arcane crap like sports stats and movie trivia and such, they _can_ learn some basic commands at a prompt so they are not totally at the mercy of a gui. I reserve that judgment as not valid for Mac fanatics :-)<br>
