Hi Devin,
sorry, my english isn't that good as it should be.
You started some play with your five years, so I went on.... :)
However, it has a serious core:
Emacs is known being extensible, and yes, it is.
It's extensiblity is the one of the reasons I'm interested in.
But code execution on computers is a complex thing. So,
if you changed something, there is some fair chance
afterwards it will not do exactly what you intended -
at least at the first try.
To put it shortly: Registering your configuration and
any other basic stuff you might change with a versions
control system --as RCS for example-- is a good idea.
The time to learn RCS, bazaar or whatever will pay tenfold.
Andreas
