Why do you ask?

Ages.  For AGES.  Decades, anyway.

Doesn't mean that I *know* anything, though!

(Probably 1% of what most of you here do.)

Actually, at first I was using the emacs that had the
user manual with rms on a gnu (or ordinary cow, was it --
I forget) jumping over the moon.   The one written 
in (mit) teco.  Used it on first a dec-10 then a dec-20
with "twenex" os.
