Apparently Steve Jobs didn't steal the idea from Xerox PARC but Bill certainly "stole" it from Steve, and developed it while billing the time to IBM for OS2 development. Quae cum ita sint (somewhere I read that rms knows Latin ;-]) what is needed now is a version of GNU/Linux that is modularized to a very fine grain so that that a minimally functional emacs can appear on the monitor within 2 seconds of power on. Then the rest of the OS could be loaded in the background when and/or if called for by emacs. An appropriate hardware platform for this might be a foldable (to 6" x 6") 88 key Dvorak keyboard with a 7 line display (split space-bar, key-chord friendly layout: meta, hyper, super, ctl, shift, alt, no mouse, no graphics, but with 512 Mb of non-volatile RAM, i.e. no moving parts except keys). I think that edit-picture should be good enough for anyone but radiologists and pornographers. Ed
