 pa> I'm already liking it - I've been doing a couple lfs installs, too - so 
I've REALLY had to use vim os far. :P

 pa> Do I know how to zip around the text document super fast yet? No - but 
what I do see is that IF you know how to zip around a file, even if 10,000 
lines long, the tools in vim to doso are *infinitely* better - I guess thats 
what this
 pa> is about... I'm gonna learn the things as these weeks go.

 pa> TBH, I don't think I'll go back - and I'm only 12 hours in... one 
suggestion I have for all 'nano die hards' is run a program that I didn't know 
existed; 'vimtutor' - its in every vim install and shows you the ropes with the
 pa> quickness. 

 pa> check it out...

Yea, it's really hard until it clicks. Once it does everything else feels slow.
