Repair Grub Files?

[Phil Pinkerton]

vi is all I have ever needed since 1987, some folks have used it longer than
that.
I was simply trying to help, not force vi on anyone. I think sometimes folks
using these lists are just  looking  to discredit others and or try to make
up for their own insecurities rather than provide helpful information. I
have no problem with constructive criticism. Though I have only worked with
compters for 33 years, I still am open to learning something new and
excepting that others due things differently. Facts are 1 program written by
100 programmers will be written 100 different ways, and to quote myself "
One Accurate Measurement is Worth a Thousand Expert Opioions"
