hey! not funny. once upon a time, in my infinite stupidity, or
maybe to prove that i was just as masochistic as the rest of them,
i used emacs --- until god punished me with "emacs pinkies"
(tendonitis to all you tennis players) for my sins. this was long
before sam, and lacking better options (i think that pi was the
only other contender), i switched to vi. that is, i traded sore
wrists for lots of extranious "i"s floating about my text.
