You're all crazy!

The last time I used a text editor with command key equivalents was on
DOS 3.2. At the time I used edlin because it allowed me to pick my nose
while I was on the phone fielding support calls - one astute user even
noted that they didn't hear my keys click - duh!

If in this day and age I am required to edit text I use and prefer
nedit. You silly people never seemed to have heard of a mouse or a gui,
why would you torment yourself with an editor that requires you to know
keyboard short-cuts just to get help - or quit?

Besides, can someone please explain how I make galeon read info pages,
because I detest manuals written in info...

<Job well done, more fat on the fire, add in some man vs. info bashing,
make a comment about web-browsers, should throw in some disparaging
comment about Linux...>

And under Linux, you can't even sync a Palm OS5 device over USB, so
Windows rocks.

So, now that I've entertained myself, I'll just get back in my box :-)

See, my public service announcement works, now I even type messages to
the list without the need to actually type or hit send... I'm working on
the same principle to get software written - stay tuned ;-)
