Which reminds me of one of my fave acronyms... for an editor somewhat
like the world's best editor.
MINCE = MINCE Is Not Complete Emacs

As for what I keep in *my* wallet? (this *is* .geek, after all)... a vi
reference card.
vi is the devil's work. But you're always guaranteed to have it on any
random unix box you walk up to, so you have to either know it well
enough not to need a card, or have a card with you. I chose the latter
so as not to forget the emacs keystrokes.
