> When I was in high school and used my first Linux machine (a Raspberry Pi)...
Thanks for making me feel old! My first experience with editing text on a *nix system was vi on my older borther's AT&T SVR4 workstation in the 1980s when I was junior high (my apologies if that reference makes anyone else feel old!).
Actually you just made me feel really young! My first taste of Unix was a dialup shell account in the early 90's. IIRC, vi was the only editor available.
I'm jealous! My dad tells me stories of using Sun Workstations at his university back in the late 80s, and I get jealous of that being his first experience with vi! It's incredible that anyone can pick up a $35 computer now, but there is something so neat about those pre-internet Unix machines to me.
