The Shell. A digital frontier.
I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the text buffer.
What did they look like? Scripts, macro-cycles?
Were the pipelines like freeways?
I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see.
And then, one day... I typed Vim.
— Kevin Flynn, probably
