Ehh. Does it count if I code most of my stuff using vi over telnet? :} One
good thing I've found about WYSISYG (and hand coding) is, when viewing my
page, and I get stuck on table layout problems I can do a quick "view
source", copy that, and paste it in homesite, then do a code sweep and
view it a little easier.

Also referring to the vi telnet thing. It only takes a second to open a
remote editor and change a line or two. Immediately it's available. No
waiting for apps to open up (vi could be measured in microseconds with a
medium size doc.) No authenticating (in my case I always have a secure
connection open). And if there's still a small error I won't have to
upload yet again.

Great analogy.
