Console graphics look like GUI?  Surely you jest!  Tell me you don't honestly
believe this?

What kind of "nice background"?  Something in blue maybe?  No maybe green will
fool them.

I have some serious doubts about anybody that thinks we can make the console
look like a GUI.  Maybe these people have never seen a GUI?  Maybe I'm wrong. 
Tell me, how do I put a jpeg of Saturn on the background of  a shell menu?
