I just removed some terminal info from the unofficial docs

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Oh, i like the odd references to strangeness that occasionally happens in the wikis.  It makes it feel more friendly.  It made me feel that i wasn't alone in frustrations and also made me feel like i could contribute to the wikis too.   Being too professional and aloof is one of the many areas MS goes wrong imo.  

Regards from 

Tom :)

Given the other information covered on the page the depth of the terminal information was disproportionate.
