I don't have any records of when the first Emacs was usable for = editing.
It would have been some time in late 1976, I think.

But it may not have been an identifiable moment, anyway.=C2=A0 I probably started editing with Emacs when it was not really ready to ask anyone
else to use.

One option is to imitate Christian practice by fictionally attributing
to this event a date that is celebrated for some other reason.=C2=A0 Thus,<= br> we could celebrate Emacs's birth on Grav-Mass day, December 25.
(See stallman.org/grav-mass.html.)

That, or December 10 (Nobel prize ceremony day)...
