I use Linux for nearly all of my computing needs, both personally and profesionally. I was once an Amiga Fanatic. Don't get me wrong, the Amiga was a great system.
VI is just too obtuse.
However, within the last year or so, my Amiga use has been declining precipitously. I can meet my text processing needs with Linux. However, I really can no longer realistically claim to be fully an Amigan any more, alas. It would seem that once Microsoft managed itself to grow huge and dominant through the free market, it would like to choke off anything in the free market which might threaten its posibion. If you have a choice, any choice, avoid Microsoft like the plague.
