Amusingly, my family just bought a new car. Naturally, it comes with a lot of interesting features, and each feature has multiple settings. Adjusting those settings is done by pushing buttons in sequence, just like how you programmed the date and time into your first VCR.

All of the time I'm spending with these settings, I'm thinking to myself: Just give me an RS232 port, so I can plug in a dumb terminal and set everything up using a CLI.

But not all is lost. I've noticed that more and more web pages that give instructions on setting up computer hardware and software start with: "Press Windows-R and type CMD, now enter the following commands." And I don't search for programs any more. I press the Windows button and enter the program name from the keyboard.
