Nice vi Trick

[Ken Leyba]

Unix is a four letter word and vi is its two letter abbreviation.

One I heard a while back.  That being said I'm a vi (vee-eye not vie)
user, always telling myself one day I will learn emacs.  However,
since I've been playing with Debian/Ubuntu a lot rececently I've been
using nano which is "good enough", for now anyway.
