All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

As far as I know, vi doesn't load the full file into the buffer (so it is possible to edit >2GB text files), but it does load what should be on screen and beyond. I think we need to use the force, read the source :D
