What exactly is this emacs thing that I keep hearing about? I once heard that 
it is an os. Some other person said it is a shell and yet another said that 
it is a desktop environment..

 I always deselected it from slackware installation because I don't know what 
the heck that is exactly.  :)

I hope there are takers for invitation..
