Huh?

I wouldn't use vi for my usual editing (i use it for quick and small
editing purposes, but leave regular and complex editing tasks to the
always running Emacs dinosaur in the upper right virtual desk of my
fvwm :), but if i had not already a FreeBSD mug on my desk which is in
regular use, i would have thought about buying the vi mug, just for
curiosity reasons...  (The FreeBSD mug was a gift, since i'm a member
of its core team.)
