What do you mean?  Surely you don't consider those mega-monstr6ities
with radiators, fuel pumps, and no kick-starters motorcycles.  I like
to think of them as cars you have to balance and get wet on.  And
then, when I consider "high performance" I think of a *TOTAL* time:
quarter mile *PLUS* tuning it up.  By the time you've fiddled with
24 valves, I've made it clean out of state.  When it comes to the
new so-called bkes, you can't fault the alloy technology, only bad
taste.

As for screen editors--REAL Un*x programmers modify their files by
echoing the changes and piping it through "sed"!
