Every time.

Lynx = CLI Web Browser

VI = CLI Text Editor

Both handy if you can't get into the gui.

Yes... I know what ROTFLMAO means...

Could you please enlighten me? I really don't see the point of using acronyms if no-one understands what you're on about?

I mean, have you ever heard of ASIJMU - the standard?
