Re[2]: To GUI or Not to GUI

[David Warren <David -dot- Warren -at- NEXTEL -dot- COM>]

     Howdy!

     PLEASE do not use "graphical"--I know it is a long-standing industry
     buzzword--try "graphic" instead.  "Graphical-based" makes my teeth
     hurt!

     It'd amuse me to see a discussion on this...or is it one of those
     beaten-to-death topics submerged in the FAQ?

     Cheers!

Try something along this line:

XYZ is the graphical application which extends the XYZ text-based
version.

Use "graphical-based" or "text-based" as opposed to "GUI" or "CUI".
