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.

|
||||
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 wouldn’t 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.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
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 didn’t know that any one had written one for
|
||||
Emacs. Huh. Schooled in my editor by a kid.
|
||||

|
||||
|

|
||||
She also typed in <code>telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl</code>.
|
||||

|
||||
|

|
||||
She’s now my favorite.
