Hey, I resemble that remark. :) The editor I use on the color computer has
had several names over the years, vi being the first one. Then somebody
made a window device called vi, and I had to rename it vim. Vim it isn't,
but it still works fine. And I still use vim on these linux boxes about
half the time, but gedit is gradually taking over for writing gcode to run
a milling machine or lathe.

Cheers, Gene
