$$^&%$##^) Actually it would be 'nvi' -- the 4.4 BSD re-implemented VI. 
The original unix screen based text editor! :-)  So, there! Better yet, rock
with Elvis! :)

I kind of like to 'watch' the Swiss cheese disappear better! =:p mmm,mm!  

I've been doing upgrades recently. Kernel linux version is now  2.4.22. 
The risky one -- U-Boot 20030910. Flash rom .image file. It takes a lot 
courage to type OK to all the disclaimers that this process is totally 
your own risk. Rolling blackouts are quite common these days since August
14th blackout. The updater is only 604430 bytes. I tryed for Xfree86 
version 4.3 experimental, but couldn't get it. That's for later updates.
