Ha, real geeks use emacs. Just open up a command line on the pi, install emacs... Well another text editor, probably already got vi or vim but it's awkward. I'dd use nano.
apt-get update
apt-get install nano -y

Nano is a much easier command line text editor. Go to the dir you want it in and type
nano WhatEverFilename

type stuff, press ctrl x to exit, say yes to saving buffer.

Emacs talk, get in!

I use org mode in Emacs to do lists and I love it!

Glad that's off my chest.

FYI: I just use Google Keep for notes. Works on every platform - so none of this Mac only proprietary bollocks - free and dead easy to use.

I'm so glad that I decided to have nothing to do with Apple thirty odd years ago.

You missed out, they're excellent. Really good for geriatrics who struggle with technology too.

When I went to buy my first PC in 1988, it was a choice between £2200.00 for an Apple IIe or £640.00 for an Amstrad PC1512.

The clincher, apart from price, was software. Software for DOS was plentiful, and a lot of stuff was free. Apple, very limited and expensive.

Just think though, you could’ve been cool all that time

Chromebooks are far better for that now and, of course, a fraction of the price.

5 Reasons Chromebooks are the Perfect Computer For an Elderly Person

It's your granddad's birthday — but what should you buy him? You could get him socks (again), some gardening equipment, or perhaps a large bottle of whisky… Or you could buy him a Chromebook.

I'll thank you young whippersnappers to knock off with the 'elderly'.

I have a PC (have done since 1988) a Chromebook, three laptops and a tablet.

Reading that article, the tosser who wrote it, either accidentally or intentionally, is being fucking offensive towards older people... fucking twat!
