   IIRC the original (Win 3 or earlier) "notepad" was little more than one of the   
   sample programs in their SDK - a simple edit control with a menu and save/load.   
   In the earlier versions this limited the size of the file it could edit to 32K.   
      
   Tend to use Notepad++ when I have to do anything on Windows these days, though   
   that's getting a bit too smart for my liking.   
      
   vi and emacs ftw. (Yes, I use both :)
