What, vi-users are a minority over here?  Heck, I might as well just go
back to clpm!  *j/k*  "soundly hated by most editor-users?"  How many of
this alleged majority even know what vi/vim is?  I do have to agree

No harm intended, Alex.  I agree that the VB IDE is quite easy to use,
but:

	if 'ease of use' == 'power':
		Win98_power = Linux_power + WinNT_power

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you
want to test a man's character, give him power.
