[Eug-lug] Computer time

[John Sechrest]

To add to the religious discussion, there are some 
things that vi does well and there are somethings
that emacs does well. 

I use vi when I want to do things like:

1,$s/\(.*\) \(.*)/\2 \1/g

I use emacs when I want to type text and maniuplate large
amounts of material for documents and other actions.

So everyone should learn what the strong points and 
weak points of each are.
