      I still use vi...on linux. It was a joy to use SunOS with its GUI. Forget what the one before X took over was called - but it was fun.

                Good God! You've got to admire her stamina.

                She was pretty elderly when I started doing her. And now, she's taking on more students! Good old Vi. Hottest canteen lady on the campus.
