WMP> Yes, but it was _SO_MUCH_UGLIER_. For certain definitions of "uglier". Honestly, my Emacs 19s look almost exactly like my Emacs 18s did. And you know, I like it that way. I grew up in the "old school" of writing and typesetting. You do not want a bazillion different fonts in a document; you do not want seemingly random color changes. These may make the document "pretty" but at the same time they make the document unreadable. The most readable documents -- printed or not -- are the ones presented in a clean font with a minimum of digression for required emphasis. Anything else is too "busy"; the formatting becomes more important than the content. WMP> But oh my god was it faster. And smaller, and... well... sometimes I wish 18.59 would run on Win32. It would give me some incentive to go polish up my old GNUS-mail hackery. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3a Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBMvEDwp6VRH7BJMxHAQHw0QP/QnncL9DoyJq2fshvKoj5/EeUHj77ksxk WcCA76Lymn32+lCt9AR8FuGdJCyYo7TjPjlXnTAVwt/9ncwwdVFzlZX+y/QaebDK lj2LD0y1+ocVthgX3wLLvO6v7HgXmygM+FieIAsxLSiQKuHAjhFCiyPbB4z2F4yR UkWOgbsmsgg= =MyEc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rich Pieri | Warning: pregnant women, the Prescient Technologies, Inc. | elderly, and children under 10 A Stone & Webster Company | should avoid prolonged exposure to I speak for myself, not PTI or SWEC | Happy Fun Ball.
