I was quite the opposite. I got the old sturdy Emacs 19 manual (printed by HP Press) and put that well-bound beast on my desk. I started doing everything with emacs; calendar, IRC, calculations, spreadsheet, notes, debugging, running Perl, running connecting to a remote box, etc.
I am one of those rare people that can't use MS Notepad; I routinely get weird dialogs popup in applications because I use emacs key-chords from muscle memory.
- __david__ 16y agoMe too. I also tend to zip to the beginning of the line a lot, out of habit. Trying to save in notepad or a windows editor can do really bad things: C-a C-x C-s. Ouch.

- kwantam 16y agoC-x is cut. C-v is paste. C-a C-x C-s cuts everything to clipboard and saves an empty file. C-v C-s would restore this. So C-a C-x C-s C-v C-s is just a funny way of saying C-s.
