Well, I think it is not fair to count the time you spent starting from that five year old book. First of all, the authors were not omniscient and didn't know what Emacs would be like in five years. Secondly, if the instructions there are wrong, then it's a problem with the book, not with Emacs. So how about you start counting now :-) -- Ambibibentists unite!
