But it's a lie!!

VI is the standard text editor (dammit. stomp. stomp). Our children can have text editor wars.

Heh! I most often use vi (vim, really), but I will accept N no matter what editor she chooses. :)

The line is from the old ed man page (http://roguelife.org/~fujita/COOKIES/HISTORY/V6/ed.1.html). It is one of those lines that was patently untrue for so long as to become ridiculous.
