Friends of mine who run CCA emacs are very pleased with it, and see
Gosling's emacs as a toy.  CCA emacs is known to make much more efficient
use of resources than Gosling's, as well as being more true to the emacs
philosophy.

NOW, if only CCA would get around to sending me my copies.  Every couple
of weeks I call them, they apologize profusely for not having sent it
yet, and say it'll be shipped the next morning.  Last wednesday, the
person I spoke to said they would ship it Federal Express, and that I
should receive it Friday. Still it hasn't arrived.  I'll give them
another call this Wednesday.  The reason they hadn't shipped, they said,
was that they were waiting for a new shipment of manuals from the
printer. However, they also stated that they would send  the tape
without the manuals, which they would send me later.
