I don't know how large it is. But we had an interesting thread some 10 months ago. It was named "How old are Emacs users" or something like that. Many people answered and told us how they came to use Emacs and for what purposes. It doesn't seem a small nice to me after this thread. It must still be in the archive. Bye, Sven
