Just a reminder to everybody that we're holding our vi class this
Thursday, November 5 in the third floor conference room of the Capitol
Area District Library.  Class begins at 6:30pm and I will have material to
run until 7:30pm.  That leaves plenty of time for questions and answers.

vi  is one of those topics that makes people cringe.  It's not an
especially intuitive editor.  It's not what you'd call user friendly.  It
makes rude hand gestures at new users.  But it's small, it's fast and it's
always there, and that's why you need to know it.  It's the editor that
will be there, on any system, when there are no other editors.  And trust
me, there will be times when there are no other editors.

So come out this thursday to be introduced to the dark mysteries of vi,
and move one step further along in your path to the UNIX elite.

You should bring a laptop that is wireless capable.

If you have questions you can call me at 517-325-3186 or 810-869-4390.
