Yeah. I think of vacations away from home partly as "computer breaks".
That includes Grex, of course.

You may have been using computers too much if:
... you look for the page-down button on your book.

You have been using UNIX too much if:
... you hit the ESC key while in notepad.

... your friends keep asking why your Word documents have a long string
of 'j's at the top and a "ZZ" at the end.

Me as well. Problem with notepad is that ESC kills the app and you lose what
you were typing!

nedit deliberately doesn't bind the Esc key to anything by default, so
recovering vi addicts can bang on it without hurting anything.
For me the more dangerous thing was the default binding of Ctrl-Alt-Del
to "shutdown -r now" on most Linux distributions. Why is this
dangerous? Well, when you have Windows NT machines on the same KVM
switch, and you're used to hitting Ctrl-Alt-Del to log in... After a
couple unfortunate incidents I disabled that "feature".

I did that as well. You get used to doing a lot on windoze machines, and when
you switch to Linux, you can shut down your system too easily since I kind
of do it "automatically" when something fouls up.

I'm pretty much deleting all mail from Hotmail these days, ever since
they stopped sending text along with the HTML. Pine can't deal with HTML.

What version of Pine? Some recent versions can render it to some extent.
Grex's, of course, is anything but recent.
It used to be possible to set Hotmail to only send plaintext, but you probably
had to be as obsessive about your system preferences as I am to find it, and
may have been eliminated. I haven't had an account to check with in three
or four years, though.

Maybe the next incarnation of Grex will have a more recent Pine. Grex
is about the only place I use it.

Yes, the new grex will have a new version of Pine; probably 4.56. Unless a
newer one is realised soon.
