I can't picture how Terminal would have helped, but then, I think I've used Terminal once, and have a healthy respect (i.e., fear) for it. Once, when I was shopping for an already-held domain name, I went to the stated site, which invited me to make a bid greater than $10. So I bid $12. Then it asked for a bid greater than, I think, $90. I declined. Is "hagglebot" a word?
