vi

It was created in 1976, I started using it in 1983. It's a rare day when I don't spend at least an hour in there. It's gone through several rewrites but it's always felt like the same program. It's where I prefer editing text. I wrote some code yesterday which takes specific emails as they arrive and posts them onto a blog, I did that in vi, it's what vi's good at.

There are two occasions when I don't dislike using a mouse, they when I'm using a CAD package or editing graphics. The rest of the time, if a program doesn't have keystrokes to do what I want it to do I use a different program. When I'm in vi I forget mice even exist. Keyboards are faster than mice, they don't break my concentration as much. Keyboards don't get in the way and vi's good at expanding what a key can achieve.

Actually, there is a game called Sid Meier's Pirates, and it is the only game that has kept me playing ALL NIGHT !!! Don't worry I'm in my second childhood ! But I find the internet generally fascinating and engrossing, so I really do not have any particularly favourite programme as I love them all. I would, however, be terribly upset if I should ever loose the ability to use Forum Garden, as it has brought me so much into my life ! Not least some absolutely terrific friends

Eww Notepad!

Have you never considered an upgrade for that? One that at least keeps several tabbed files open at once?

Not sure I'd call it "treasured" but I really like my Microsoft Office suite.
