it’s unix, not eunuchs

It’s a serious problem that’s been troubling admin’s for over a decade now.  You sit, sweating in your cubicle waiting for the demand that you know is coming.  Suddenly you will need to replace 17 patterns in a 20k line document or else your boss will be up your behind.  Sure, you could SSH to some development box that someone barely knows exists.  Or you may be lucky/demanding and have a jump box just waiting for your every command.

But what about that screaming fast, multi-core laptop that your company issued to you?  Sure, it’s running winbloze, but that doesn’t make it useless.  You know what you need?  Some freeware loving, buddy.  And here it comes in the guise of Gnu VIM client for Win32.  You know it’s good for you, come on, it’s Gnu!
