I saw in some mag that you can buy one of those "OLPC, one laptop per child"
and the price you pay pays for a second one which is given to a kid somewhere

I'd love one of them - I think there really nice design :-*



ah, [url=http://www.laptopgiving.org/en/index.php]here it is:
Since November 12th, OLPC has been offering a limited-time Give One Get One program in the United States and Canada.
....
For a donation of $399, one XO laptop will be sent to empower a child in a developing nation and one will be sent to the child in your life in recognition of your contribution. Up to $200 of your donation may be tax-deductible (your $399 donation minus the fair market value of the XO laptop you will be receiving)."one for the child in your life" = ME!! :D

jgpaiva, vim? Damn, and just as I was getting into emacs, you had to ruin it.

jgpaiva:
 ;D zaine!
Emacs is said to be as good as vim, or even better. I don't think you won't be well seved with that one.

The reason i started using vim, is because it is included in every default linux instalation (wereas emacs isn't) and it's a bit lighter (thus faster to open) then emacs.
But emacs is said to include almost a whole OS inside, thus, it should do everything you thow at it ;)
