back in the early 1990's i worked for a commercial training company (The Instruction Set) and the first day of our "Programming In C" course normally went something like this:

me: we are using these beat-up terminals

trainees: is this what we are paying for?

me: we will be using unix (no linux easily available then)

trainees: but we use VMS!

me: and we will be using vi to edit our programs

trainees: wha???

....a week passes

trainees: actually quite neat! i really like vi
