I've been using the terminal version of emacs (emacs-nox) since the 80's and whatever version is installed has always worked fine. I tried to install xcode tools yesterday. First it has a license agreement window that needs a click, but it doesn't pop-up in the foreground so I didn't even know it was there. The Install button just error beeps. Then it said it would take 59 hours to download. That's nice. I aborted it. I restarted it today. It says it has 11 minutes to go so maybe things will go smoother this time. Still a complete pain in the ass, and nope, it didn't fix the speaker (I didn't think it would, just a long shot). Thanks for letting me vent!
