Most people just write GUI apps without even considering the use of an
old-fashioned keyboard interface. The choice is more complicated than
most people realise. Have a look at my little essay on the advantages
and disadvantages of either approach.
Ideas to improve the essay welcome.

Windows is a case-insensitive operating system,
but that does not mean you can forget about case.
For example, Let us assume you have a file called
Abc.txt in C:\temp, and a file called
aBc.txt in D:\temp and you type
copy C:\temp\abC.txt D:\temp. What is the name of the file in
D:\temp when you are done?
1) Abc.txt 2) aBc.txt 3) abC.txt 4) abc.txt 5) ABC.txt
Hint, the answer rhymes with the most popular word in advertising.
