In the days of running <Linux ETH Oberon>, I could:
 <System.Execute ls -ta /mnt/OtherDevice/AnyDir | head -22>
to get the list of files on the LIVE LEO FRAME where I had
ETHO's full coloring...etc. facilities. Eg. pasteing some
contents of <the critically recognised file> into an email
to be sent by LEO.
  A teaching environment must be <staged: Romeo+Julet+theDog>.
In contrast, with my laptop running linux I want/need access to
my whole UNIVERSE of 4 plugged USB-devices +...---------------

LEO gave me access to this whole-UNIVERSE and within the superior
ETHO context. Eg. not like the current LAME web-based-gmail, where
you can't send/receive randomly, but must consume one-item-at-a-time
as it is handed to you.
PS. I only discovered later that LEO was [just luckely for me] built
for 486...good font-sizes ...etc.
