Welcome to the early 90s


Recently, my grandmother (who is turning 90 this year) got email. Well, that's not entirely accurate. What she actually has is a printer which takes the emails sent to her and converts them into dead tree format for her reading pleasure. It costs money, and she is unable to send anything, but at least now I can forward her pictures of my new puppy in a quick and timely fashion.

What does this have to do with Cusp, you ask? Well, it came to mind when I read the following tale of RMS's encounter with Eclipse. There he encountered such "neat features" as "tabs."

I don't know that there's much more to say. That post confirms everything I've ever suspected about Emacs users. Read it and weep.
