Initial am vrut sa'l trimit pe humor, apoi pe offtopic, dar m'am
razgandit cand am terminat de citit articolul (adica pana acolo unde se
termina pagina) ;)


Let me tell you about Grandma and vi. Back in the early days of Ubuntu,
I sat Grandma down and explained that in order to really become
productive with Linux, you need to learn vi. With the coordination
issues that the elderly often face, I explained how learning a few
simple shortcuts would not only save time, but would eliminate all those
painful mouse issues that plague this generation

Once she figured out the mode based editing, the shortcuts to search,
copy, cut, paste, she was in vi heaven. The regex thing was just second
nature. 

It was so cool to see a lady in her 90s read the entire Ubuntu Wiki and
install the 3D nvidia drivers (for what use I don't know).

She did the old sudo and was off in a flash, installing libdvdcss and
enabling DMA. She just understood more that I would have ever given her
credit for. So after a quick jaunt through the Wiki, and after googling
solutions to those issues not anticipated, she was good to go.

Now, at this point I could tip my hat and tell you how Granddad
preferred emacs for its flexibility, which in turn caused all kinds of
marital struggles.
