Well, let's keep things non-personal and civil and agree to disagree. If
you knew me better, I doubt you'd say this. It'd just devolve into a VHS
vs Betamax (vi vs emacs?) thread anyway. :-)
Sorry to punch on anyone's fav if you are a LISP fan. I have bad memories
and some fundamental problem with the language that come from my own
negative experiences. Just write it off as a personal problem (mine).
Tell me about having to get work done on a 12K 1401,
and maybe I'll
listen. In the mean time, get off my lawn, kid.
My first computer was a Timex Sinclair 1000 with 2k of RAM (granted it had
an 8-bit Z80 rather than a 1401 6-bit CPU), and I'm not whining about it.
It was fun.
Anyhow, I'm not here to troll you or others. Sorry if my post annoyed
you.
