Hi Bastien

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
