In 7th and 8th grade English class, we had to write everything using WordStar in the computer lab on DOS. This was 1989. Then it was Joe for technology class in high school, and WordPerfect for typing class (I wish she would have taught us Dvorak instead of Sholes). I didn't learn vi until 2001, while in college, when I stepped aboard a Solaris 8 machine. I haven't looked back since. -- . O . O . O . . O O . . . O . . . O . O O O . O . O O . . O O O O . O . .
