Yeah, I don't think I'll be going there very often. > I think that you'll find that using Vim expects a certain level of knowledge > about the command line and the Unix environment. In my year of floundering around with linux, I got reasonably comfortable doing a lot of things I'd never encountered in Windows. After moving to a Mac I got lazy. I didn't have to be tinkering continuously. Things just worked. If I'd invested in a new machine, instead of trying to get linux to work the way I wanted on a clunky old one, I probably wouldn't have had to flounder. But then I'd never discovered Mac. I'm glad I discovered Mac. It just works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA eew...@bellsouth.net -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
