By author even. On *la tentation de saint Antoine* [not his most
*known* work], Flaubert should have said: --"C'est l'oeuvre de
toute ma vie."-- (You can trust him.)

Paint. Not necessarily. I use Elvis, an 80/20 of Vim at 1/2-1/3
of the size. I don't see why I couldn't edit/manipulate a *tool*
the way I do with Elvis.

Disagree. (The number #1 accessory I buy with a notebook is
a mouse, to let us understand. Alphabet Morse tipping on the
touchpad--and which becomes hot [cpu: 59 C, sda: 40 C, don't know
how much for the ATI Radeon] by the way--attracts me less.)
