Shock, horror, gasp ...
I think the linux is wonderful because it interacts with me how I want it to,
not how you think is kwell.
I think THATs the sad state of winders: Do it our way or PO.
From what I perceive the picture-brigade is also well catered for, so win-win.
[explains: the picture brigade are those who are able to make computers do
their magic without resorting to CLI or the-editor-from-hell
<heh heh> are there any other editors that work (maybe emacs)
EG. in the middle of this mail insert the date (:r !date) or
insert 1000 lines (so you can't use the mouse) from thaaaaat
machine
(:r !ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] cat bigfile)
