I wish I could un-spend the time I had to use emacs years ago ;)  (just=20
kidding, I don't intend to start an editor war!)

If it's possible for a text editor to be life changing, that's vim.  Want=

to know the best part?  It just keeps getting better as you learn more=20
and more about it.  The sad thing is I've had trouble with lots of other=20
programs when I hit escape after entering text.  It seems they're not=20
smart enough for vi-syntax. :p

I guess my only (very minor) complaint is that the ruby syntax isn't=20
*quite* perfect yet, but it's darn good.

Now that's something still on my todo list... I've been a skier for=20
years, and my wife really wants to take up snowboarding.  And seeing as=20
it's only April, we've got another good month of snow in line for my=20
area!

No problem.  Oh, and in a few days, you may come to like how your wrists=20
feel, too... emacs is painful.
