The most interesting David Searles that I see is this one: -- http://cid-bf94e7f974ba1845.profile.live.com/ I'm aries born, 5'11 light complextion straight as an arrow love my girls dark and inteligent.i'm a qualified chef and a selftaught barber which i currently pratice right now(taking a break from cooking).so holla at me. -- But then, he may say that I have no logical counter arguments and skip it. ugdc

Actually I am a relatively new user of Emacs, less than 2 years. I don't know anything about windows versions of Emacs, but I use a Mac, and though I don't use the NS version of emacs, I can assure you that interoperability where it is not supported out of the box is trivially easy to fix. Since I use a very simple window manager for all of my X Window based programs I thing that X Window emacs is really quite amazing for putting the X Selection on top of the kill ring. Makes "pasting" into Emacs trivially easy. But even if the NS version didn't automatically cooperate with the Mac clipboard, all it takes to add this functionality is understanding the Mac commands, pbcopy and pbpaste. All in all, I happen to think the CUA is an amazingly good idea. As are those interactive tutorials people refer to as menus. And I am glad that CUA is not the default in Emacs, and I am thankful that I can disable every GUI element which I find to be a waste of space. Yes I could have used the NS version, I tried to use Aquamacs(uses CUA by default), but I prefer the native key-bindings of Emacs. And in the cases where I don't or I want to add one, I fix it. --tali713 Using MacOS X + StumpWM + Emacs (X11), and very happy.

I am under no obligation to answer personal, irrelevant questions asked by you or anybody else here.
