The accounting software I started writing 20 years ago uses vi
keys for things like ``k -> up'', ``j -> down'' (and accepts
arrow keys as well for those of us whose fingers aren't hard
wired to vi commands :-).

``I presume you all know who I am.  I am humble Abraham Lincoln.  I have been
solicited by many friends to become a candidate for the legistlature.  My
politics are short and sweet, like the old woman's dance.  I am in favor of
a national bank ... in favor of the internal improvements system, and a
high protective tariff.'' -- Abraham Lincoln, 1832
