It has never occurred to me before now, but I have never used a *nix text
editor other than vi/vim.  About fifteen years ago I cut my teeth on a SCO
UNIX box using vi.  In Linux it has always been vim.  I tried pico briefly
but it did not "feel" right, after having used vim so much.  Having to use
Outlook at work, I often look at my screen in confusion wondering why in the
world my editor put ":x" in the middle of my email.

Heh.  That is funny.  If I didn't know you, I would think you were lying
about having a wife.  Geek.  ;-)
