Quoting Piet van Oostrum <piet@cs.uu.nl>:
I am 61. Have been using Emacs for about 20 years. I can't remember the exact number of years. I still remember that in the early days I got the Emacs distributions with UUCP through a 1200 bps modem (or was it 300?) across the ocean. Scheduled during nightly hours to make use of `cheap' telephone rates. The transfer took about 5 hours. This must have cost the university quite some money.
*Bows respectfully* I will print this (via ps-print-buffer) and post in my cubicle -- /\ ___ /___/\_|_|\_|__|___Gian Uberto Lauri_____ //--\| | \| | Integralista GNUslamico \/ e coltivatore diretto di Software
