Uh, Dave?  Hate to tell you this, but "that kind of history" is
spelled "G-U-I" and "convenience".  Convenient GUIs cannot work
without it.  "That kind of history" is why private information leaks
out of Windows workstations by the gigabyte.

"Convenient, intuitive, privacy-preserving.  Choose one or both of the
first two, or the third---no other combinations are available at this
time, and only God can enable new ones."
