and you know what is the most frustrating thing in windows for me? it's
the fact that when i'm using console, i must hit ESC only once! ;-)

i must confess that i was heavy windows user and windows programmer
'till 2002 (or something, i don't remember the exact date). i've seen
some *nix systems before, i even knew how to quit vi, but was never
using *nix OS as my primary one. and then i was forced to move to
GNU/Linux, 'cause my employer was not able to buy enough windows
licenses, and someone decides that it's time to throw windows out of
the window. ;-)

and now i can't understand anymore why i was happy with windows. i
really love my terminal and all the power *nix utilities gave me! ;-)
