Sorry, I didn't realize. First time doing this. I'll try to find out who the other poster is, and coordinate next time...

I work at Splunk - we're in the process of upgrading to Python 3 support. It's about as much of a nightmare as you would expect with a 15 year old codebase with [essentially] plugin support (by way of external Python code in Apps). The good news is, we've entered Beta!
You're close! It was Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia, which I started with as well. When I later saw Encarta, I thought Compton's was a superior product.
I do exactly the same thing. It really relieves the stress of working with an unfamiliar environment, and you become that much more effective with stock vim!
I miss your comments on slashdot.
Recently I’ve just found myself disenchanted with Apple in a way similar to how I felt maybe twelve years earlier with Microsoft, when I switched to Linux the first time.
This is exactly why I've been switching back to Linux everywhere, including laptops. Apple has done a pretty good job recreating the modern Windows experience.
