Right, but that would take more time to prepare, right? For a 10-15
minute TLUG demo, you could probably whip together an interesting
workflow example in 30 minutes. Or hell, you could just come in and
hack on some code for 10-15 minutes with no prep and answer questions
about how you did this, that, or the other.

A really interesting thing might be to use a keylogger (or does Vim,
like XEmacs, have a way to record your key-presses) so we could see
your commands in real time.

But what about Vim users who are not yet experts, but have used Vim
for too long for switching to [X]Emacs to be an option?

Yeah, I'll be the first to agree that you suck. ;)
