Ditto on the vi and csh. People always ask me who uses csh, I guess bash
dominates. It's just what I learned on. I thought about going with mutt of
pine just b/c I like simple, but really email isn't that simple any more.

Right now I've installed Sylpheed, and I can't figure out why it didn't pull
all my mail from my gmail account. It stopped on Feb, 8 for some reason. I'm
kind of new to this mail client thing though, so I probably just need to
figure it out sojme more
