I thought I started with 18.56 but maybe it was 18.59 So I got inspired into rooting through some old mail, and found one from February of 1989 when I was building and using emacs 18.52 on an Apollo workstation. I may have used emacs occassionally before then, but I think that was the start of my serious emacs use. (But I have kept my .emacs in RCS, then CVS, only since 1999. Astounding the amount of fluff that's in there, useless now but I must have felt a need for it once.) -- * Harald Hanche-Olsen - It is undesirable to believe a proposition when there is no ground whatsoever for supposing it is true. -- Bertrand Russell
