   You seem to be operating under the misconception that emacs is an
   editor.  Emacs is an operating system.  I hope that clears things up.
   :->

Except it isn't, it's only the user interface :-).  The nice thing
about this is that as far as the user (me) is concerned it doesn't
(or at least shouldn't) matter what O/S is under the user interface.
I.e. the user interface, in many respects, is MORE IMPORTANT than the
Operating System for most users.
