That strip was hilarious.  I especially liked the "magnetized needle and
a steady hand" frame.

When I use an editor, I don't want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless

Not a "viitor".  Not a "emacsitor".  Those aren't even WORDS!!!! ED!

heh, i even have one of those "Teach Yourself Emacs in 24 Hours" books
(sandwiched between two copies of Real World Linux Security).  after a

the majority is covered by GEdit (using plugins), Nano, or similar.
