Huh? I wouldn't use vi for my usual editing (i use it for quick and small editing purposes, but leave regular and complex editing tasks to the always running Emacs dinosaur in the upper right virtual desk of my fvwm :), but if i had not already a FreeBSD mug on my desk which is in regular use, i would have thought about buying the vi mug, just for curiosity reasons... (The FreeBSD mug was a gift, since i'm a member of its core team.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
