[ale] Vim is 20!

[Rich Faulkner]

So...that means that Emacs pre-dates Vi?  I was working on Emacs back
when I worked at Sequent Computing Systems in 1988/89....wrote a couple
of manuals on it.  Ran UNIX and DYNIX in those days...kinda miss those
old days sometimes back in Beaverton, Oregon.  It was there that I first
went online as a matter of fact....[Rich starts tripping down memory
lane and falls into the ditch at the side of the road]  I will offer
that I am not a fan of Vi/Vim and trended to Emacs.  Then found my way
to Notepad (ugh!) and now gedit...(products of driving Windows from
1995-2008).  

Back to work....
