All those windows, all that hitech (was POSIX bashing)

As much as I like the windowed environments available to me at work,
(Sunview, Xwindows), I almost never use them.  Why?  I don't like the idea
of sitting two feet in front of a 25" monitor.  After the machine is set
up and if I'm not using the floppies/tape drives, I retreat back to my office
and access the beast from my friendly PC via the serial port.  I'm not sure
which bothers me more from the large monitors -- the high-frequency sound
(which I can hear and directly feel) or the electromagnetic fields (which I
can't, but are getting more and more famous as each new "Currents of Death"
book comes out).
