So I’m starting at this big honking command prompt screen craning my head slightly to look at the bottom (the terminal is full screen at the moment), when I wonder if it wouldn’t be better for my neck if someone way in the past had decided that instead of having text scroll down a console, it would scroll up (so the latest entry is at the top).
It’s backwards from our normal way of reading, but I’m sure people would get used to it. I know I do when I sort email (the most recent emails are at the top, so I don’t have to scroll down to see them, and I can see later stuff and skip earlier stuff in long threads).
So who knows… it makes me ponder… maybe I’ll try to modify a terminal program to do that and see how it works….
