GNU Emacs 21
Alex writes: "After a wait worthy of the Mozilla project, GNU Emacs 21 is finally released! Image support, colour syntax highlighting on terminals, nice scrollbars and tooltips, it's all there folks. Also, for the first time in it's long illustrious history (and a step forward for GNU Project development in general) it's now available via anonymous CVS on savannah. No more waiting a year for the latest features... Now all we need is a port to GTK/GNOME...." Other submitters point out that the changelog is available through CVS (this is a serious changelog!), and you might try the mirrors, or maybe some light reading while you download.
No one has mentioned yet the coolest part. You can now point lilo at your emacs executable and boot directly into emacs. Yes, that's right no more pesky and redundant operating system in the way, emacs does everything you need anyway.
The difference between Canada and the USA is that in Canada healthcare is a right and gun ownership is a privilege.
I asked my email-pal: "UNIX or Windoze?".
He replied "UNIX".
I said "Ah...me too!".
I asked my email-pal: "Linux or AIX?".
He said "Linux, of course".
I said "Me too".
I asked him: "Emacs or vi".
He replied "Emacs".
I said "Me too. Small world."
I asked him: "GNU Emacs or XEmacs?",
and he said "GNU Emacs".
I said "oh, me too."
I asked him "GNU Emacs 19 or GNU Emacs 20"?
and he said "GNU Emacs 19".
I said "oh, me too."
I asked him, "GNU Emacs 19.29 or GNU Emacs 19.34",
and he replied "GNU Emacs 19.29".
I said "DIE YOU OBSOLETE NOGOOD SOCIALLY MALADJUSTED CELIBATE COMMIE FASCIST DORK!" , and never emailed him again.
If you're not on somebody's shit list, you're not doing anything worthwhile.....
