Re that person I mentioned who did a distributed computing environment in 
emacs in 1990. Best quote:
"We don't do ODE or PDE in this environment, because we are the phone 
company, and we don't care". 

Great quote, although I am sure that from time to time the phone guys do 
an occasional ODE or PDE.
