EMACS rpm is 11 megabytes????

[Ric Moore]

Holy Batman, I was installing for apache-ant and somehow the EMACS rpm
got sucked into the yum process at a whopping 11 megabytes. What the
hell could be in a text based system for 11 megs?? That thing is as big
as KDE. <shudders> 

We had one young kid in tech support at RedHat that could ring that
thing's bells. He looked like the leading character in "Hackers",
fingers clackity clacking all over the keyboard, like the dope field
playing the piano in "Reefer Madness". Text marching and moving with
cuts and pastes all over the place! It was a sight to behold. He was
zen'd out, all blissful and connected to the thing like he was possessed
by Stallman's ghost or something. 

As addictive as my personality is, I figured I'd stay away from that
one. Now it's installed. It would just be a small step to fire the Devil
up, a seemingly insignificant decision. My question is would I start
shooting Heroin next? Is one toke one toke too many? What says Group? 

I am afraid, Ric
