As with all good points - already touched on by Monty Python. From from The Meaning of Life:
CHAIRMAN:...Which brings us once again to the urgent realisation of just how much there is still left to own. Item six on the agenda: the meaning of life. Now, uh, Harry, you've had some thoughts on this.
HARRY: That's right. Yeah, I've had a team working on this over the past few weeks, and, uh, what we've come up with can be reduced to two fundamental concepts. One: people are not wearing enough hats. Two: matter is energy. In the universe, there are many energy fields which we cannot normally perceive. Some energies have a spiritual source which act upon a person's soul. However, this soul does not exist ab initio, as orthodox Christianity teaches. It has to be brought into existence by a process of guided self-observation. However, this is rarely achieved, owing to man's unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia. [pause]
BERT: What was that about hats, again?
HARRY: Oh, uh, people aren't wearing enough.
CHAIRMAN: Is this true?
EDMUND: Certainly. Hat sales have increased, but not pari passu, as our research initially--
BERT: But when you say 'enough', enough for what purpose?
GUNTHER: Can I just ask, with reference to your second point, when you say souls don't develop because people become distracted,... [rumble]...has anyone noticed that building there before?

Just be glad the OS version is 10 (X) and not 6 (VI). Then you could run emacs and vi on an eMac running VI.
par example:
"What are you running there, son?"
"Emacs."
"I can see it's an eMac, I asked what you're running!"
"Emacs! It's a text editor!"
"No, no, no, junior, these fine new eMacs are much more than just text editors."
"Fine, whatever, I'll just run vi instead!"
"Of course you're running VI. All these fine eMacs came preinstalled with Mac OS VI."
"Ah, fuck it. Can we just buy Dells next time?"
It's repressed, not oppressed.
