YOU ARE SO  WRONG    WRONG     WRONG    WRONG    WRONG

The vi editor was written by Bill Joy (a key player in much computer
innovation - is he still with Sun?) when he was part of the staff at the
Computer Systems Research Group at the University of California at
Berkeley.  How about you all just shut up since you're just flaming each
other and most of the garbage that you're spouting (besides being more or
less purely subjective in nature) is dead wrong.

However, I feel obliged to point out the undeniable truth that Macintosh
computers have and always will be vastly superior to anything else anywhere.

Macs forever rule,
