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

   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.
