Tomorrow (Thursday the 21st) we'll be have a meeting at 7:30 pm in 340
of the Crabtree Building.  The topic is Vim and the title is, "You Might
Be an Emacs User If..."  Hans Fugal will be presenting, and he
definitely knows his stuff, so it's going to be a great meeting.

Here's the "official" description (as official as we get, anyway):

On October 21, we will take a humorous look at the deficiencies of
inferior editors and throw into sharp relief the indisputable
superiority of Vim. Along the way, we will expose the inadequate habits
of programmers that use inferior editors and learn how to purge such
habits with Vim's help.

Disclaimer: after attending this meeting you may discover that you are
never satisfied with any other editor. You will be torn between the
eye-candy and pet features of IDEs and the power and efficiency of a
general purpose editor at every turn until you finally embrace the truth
and shun other editors unilaterally. BYU, the UNIX User's Group, and/or
Hans Fugal cannot be held responsible for any damages to your psyche
that you may claim due to the inability to tolerate IDEs and inferior
editors. We will however accept cookies.

Flame retardant: Did I say above that emacs was an inferior editor? Did
I? Think about that before you flame. ;-) I won't deny that I might have
a few emacs jokes handy...
