    If your doing any programming you'll need a great editor, here is my recommendations
    For Unix: nedit - stable, reliable, fully featured and more friendily and configurable then either EMACs or VI. (I've been using nedit everyday at work since jan 2001.
    For WinXX: Textpad, like a nedit for windows. It's shareware but well worth it. (I've been using textpad since in 1998 when I was in college). Other decent editors include MS Visual Studio..
    For MacOS: I've used mecrowork's codewarrior
    For DOS: Desk get it here.

    In Greek 'kilo' means 1000, but computer speak has had kilo to mean 1024 as in 1kilobyte, but was open to abuse (Modem manufacturers uses 1kB => 1000 bits)
    
    so now,
            1 kibibyte (KiB)  =  1024 bytes
            1 Megibyte (MiB)  =  1024 KiB    or  1,048,576 bytes
            1 Gigibyte (GiB)  =  1024 MiB    or  1,048,576 KiB
