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!).
- boring_twenties 6y agoActually 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.
- jjice 6y agoI'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.
