Does anyone remember the good old days of running Unipress Emacs on the 
old aaa (Ann Arbor Ambassador)? That's where I first cut my teeth. I used 
to be able to make that emacs sit up and beg. Eventually, RMS's stuff 
became known to me and I learned about atoms instead of the really 
hardcore string manipulation that Unipress mocklisp went with.

Also, I found a fun emacs timeline that was crafted by jwz.

Current .emacs equiv is about 52K before loads.
