FCC Licensing of Personal Computers

Using the Internet should require a license. You should have to be able to
log into a Unix (or any other non PC-DOS/MS-DOS text based OS shell) and be
able to check your email with a text based email program, and view a website
with a text based browser, and log out again, or write a simple DCL script
without the manual.

This would eliminate all Internet congestion over night, and us geeks could
have our toy back.
