- It's a bad sign when the teacher doesn't know how to get back to his home directory.
- Newbies should not be taught vi. The modes are too confusing.
- Emacs is a tad iffy, too (but better). pico would probably be best.
- A couple minutes with things like "Unix is case-sensitive" would be helpful.
- As always, helping cutegirls is fun.

Cutegirls that need help with Unix, I mean.
And yes, they *do* exist. ^^
