	Yes, actually.  PINE was the first Unix app I ever learned to
use with any regularity.  I got very used to pico, and got the
keybindings ingrained into my fingers.  Of course, I later learned
that those were a subset of EMACS.  So I used GNU EMACS for a while,
except for in PINE, where I used PICO.  I had some pretty good
keybinding orthogonality going for me.

	And then my pinky began to ache, and I felt soreness in the
tendons of my ctrl-key arm.

	So I switched to vi, and had the best christmas ever.  The
end.
