<p>
Each week, I teach an after school class at my local Middle School.
Today, while getting ready to present, I switched over to the
browser tab containing my presentation and waited for the kids to
take their seats.
</p>
<p>
One girl raised her hand and asked about a browser tab that showed
<a href="http://www.meetup.com/PDX-Emacs-Hackers/">Emacs Meetup</a>. Clearly she wouldnt care about some old programming
editor, but I quickly summarized so I could get to the lesson. She
said she uses it to play snakes. I told her that she probably uses
something else, as Emacs is just some old editor. She insisted.
</p>
<p>
She quickly fired up Terminal on the Mac, typed <code>emacs</code>, and
promptly entered <code>M-x snake</code>... How...how...did you do...know that?
While I wrote a version of the snake game on my Apple ][ computer
when I was a kid, I didnt know that any one had written one for
Emacs. Huh. Schooled in my editor by a kid.
</p>
<p>
She also typed in <code>telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl</code>.
</p>
<p>
Shes now my favorite.
