I'm using computers since, well, forever.
I can remember just two moments when I really got completely exited over
some piece of software.
First, some times in the nineties, yes, deep in last century, when I
found out about R, and then again only few years back, about orgmode.
Such a cool piece of code! My first todo manager I used for more than 4
weeks. That says it all.
Thank you very, very much, Carsten!
And of course: The king is dead, long live the king!
All the good luck to you, Bastien!
