Imagine a co-worker coming up to you and asking if you have a spare coffee cup. Noting the sad T-shirt proclaiming "Reality is just a feature of EMACS" you nonchalantly hand him your VI command mug. He thanks you and walks a few paces away before jolting to a stop, and asking "Hey, what are these hieroglyphics ??? These look like ... No! it can't be. Don't tell me you use ... aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". And then he runs away to find the nearest vi exorcist. - Joe. -- Joe Urbasik Don't believe in forced entry -- Sig currently under construction.
