Four inches five times does not mean you've got 20 inches.

No, it all came down to price, not multitasking. There was never an argument that CLI was better than a GUI except from neckbeards and bean counters. Average slobs knew the GUI was better. It took from 1984 until the early 90's for the hard to get cheap enough to tolerably run a GUI OS.

Slower photons in fiber optics means a slower, more relaxed pace for my web browsing.
