Message-ID: <allggj$e3b$1@news5.svr.pol.co.uk> (raw)
I started off with GNU/Linux last year, and initially started learning
Vi/Vim, as that was what was recommended and was also on my rescue
disk.
However, I have since learnt that Emacs wiil do everything, and if
theres something it doesn't do it's because no-one needs it yet. During
my initial blundering about in Emacs (while waiting for the books to
arrive), I'm sure I saw a Mayan Calendar! Was I right? If so what is it
for?
a) it's still used in Central America?
b) it's for use by historians/archaeologists?
c) someone just fancied the challenge of writing it?
I really curious about this one, so any help wil be greatly appreciated.
