   Since Emacs can do everything then the splash screen could contain
   links to the most common initial actions, e.g.:

   [Visit home directory]
   [Open new file]
   [Open buffer for notes you don't want to save]
   [Emacs Tutorial]
   [Emacs FAQ]
   [Read the Emacs Manual]
   ...

And bind C-c C-c or C-x C-q to switch to the *scratch* buffer (or
clear the current buffer, and make it writable).
