Pre-testing Emacs 22

My point wasn't that KDE and Emacs are incompatible. I was making an obscure point in reference to the article's mention that Version 22 includes *two* IRC clients along with a spreadsheet to go with the existing mail and news and other functions. Thus my point about already having one DE that I use and not needing another.

Sheesh! Some of you guys take all of the fun out of posting...

But, I march to the beat of my own drummer. Which is why I switched to Linux full time long before there were any thoughts of IPOs or companies releasing some proprietary program as "open source". I won't be joining the vi or Emacs camps anytime soon (yes, I've tried each in the past, I just wish I could avoid vi as successfully as I can avoid Emacs) as I have found what works best for me.

The great thing about Free Software is that one need not live in a straight jacket.

Aha.

(And if you want to live in a straitjacket, Emacs has a psychiatrist. It's
stuffed with dead useful features like that. A minesweeper game, too, and
a window manager. Just what you want in your text editor: if it crashes X
goes down with it!)
