Who else was rdev'ing the Linux kernel to tell it where the root ext2(?) partition was long before they were using RAM disks? Like with SLS or MCC?

Maybe I missed it, is there no love for the piping to an external command? I set a mark, move to somewhere else, then save the area between where I am and the mark: ma(assign mark "a" to position), jjj(move three lines away), |a(p

Cash-only here. I have not (generally) accepted pennies since the mid 1980's. Many of the local places (Seattle - Belltown & the Market) are cool with rounding transactions to the nearest dollar, so that helps. It might also be p

There's a better explanation in the last comment on the page You linked. ISTR that Netscape used to have in it's README or INSTALL (or maybe an "about"-like menu entry) a note that the name of the browser is pronounced M
