I think the wonderful thing about vi is that it has such a good market share because we gave it away.

I remember right after Carter got elected, I was sitting in my apartment in Albany, CA, on a Saturday listening to people call Carter and ask stupid questions while I designed the screen editor.

I think one of the interesting things is that vi is really a mode-based editor.

My first name, with the rare two-r spelling, came from a sportswriter named Garry Schumacher. My parents didn't know him personally, but my mother liked the spelling.

As a young boy, I did a lot of foolish things. I made a lot of mistakes. And you live and learn.

I generally don't follow domestic news that much aside from how it relates to the stories I'm covering abroad, like what Americans think of the War in Afghanistan.
