Thanks Bram. I've been using Vim (and sometimes more recently Neovim) for over 30 years (nearly every work day of my entire career), having used `vi` on various BSD systems in school. In all that time, I've never been on the maili

VHF has gone away in some areas, as I understand it. It is all gone in the Chicago metro area, now all HDTV is broadcast on UHF channels only. And thank goodness for that! For a while, CBS 2 Chicago was on VHF channel 12, and was limited i

Yep, that was a thing with NTSC-M analog channel 6, which had the audio at 87.75MHz, just below the nominal bottom of the FM range at 88.1MHz. I used to listen to the 10 o'clock news that way.

Yeah, I don't quite understand this attitude. If you use a computer as much as I do, you deserve to have a nice keyboard. Maybe not $2000 USD nice, but still decent. I had gotten nearly two decades of use from the three of my Micros
