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.
