Isn't passing a law that makes something originally outside the law to remain outside the law rather oxymoronic?
Hmm, is it? I vaguely recall a set of laws that certain things shall remain outside the law to be rather highly thought of somewhere...

Why do people always say desk space is the most important thing? Can you really not get a bigger desk? Mine's not even that freaking big but it's got a nice little shelf on top which is PLENTY big enough for my 19" CRT.
If desk space is the ONLY thing marrying everyone to LCDs, then you really need to rethink things.
I don't want CRT because of my eyes and low chance of getting killed by laser in accidental situation. SO in order to maximizing my chance of survival I will rather go with LCD.
Shlomi Fish: Hell no! Mastering cat is not easy at all. In fact, mastering cat is almost as difficult as herding cats.
For example, one case where I found that people truly underestimate the power of cat is in the prefixing a line example. You can do that with:
echo "This would be the first line" | cat — myfile.txt > myfile.txt.new
mv -f myfile.txt.new myfile.txt
But people do not realize that and instead opted to use sed, awk, or even perl (!). It can be taken further, of course. If the prefix is already in its own file, you can simply use
cat prefix.txt myfile.txt
