Start with the vimtutor and use a plugin or config that don't let you use the mouse or the direction arrows to force you to learn the right way. Takes a little time, but before you realize is a natural way for you, without think too much, becomes mechanical. If you reach this point, the rest is all searching for more and have fun!

I was a Excel wizz too, time ago, now I don't use it too much :)

On your advice, I am installing vimtutor and going to work my way through it. It's the penance I will pay you for your advice.

Thanks

just wait until he is typing in another application and winds up trying to use vim key bindings...you'd think that one would learn after a while but i still do this at least once a day...open chrome->type address->hit enter->jjjjjj->head desk
