tl;dr The Register interviews Bill Joy about writing vi over a very slow data link.

I use vi (m) every day. Thank you, Bill Joy, and Happy Birthday whenever chron brings it up.

What is chron?

cron is a tool to schedule tasks

typo on my part, but the etymology of "cron," is related to "Chronos," if you didn't know
