Yeah, but even they have "search parties."

Actually, I cheated - it was the WB cartoon version (you know, the same
one where the Flash raced Superman - and, of course, lost?).

Yeah, I've read KotDT - AWESOME comic. Speaking of which, I think it's
about time to pick up a copy at Merlin's... And as for jed, never tried
it. I use both vi and emacs. Each has its function. Vi when you have to
and Emacs whenever you can. Just stick a kernel under that emacs and
watch it run itself.
Anyways, time to work. Gee, I love my schedule...
