I started using the original TECO based Emacs on TOPS-20 at CMU in maybe 1980, so much better than the line editor of the time.

And I used Emacs (on Linux) this morning.

Let me know if you remember the DEC20 and the dreaded “not running” message that happened to everyone in the room when it went down.

Also interested if you remember Gosling Emacs, the first rewrite for Unix. James Gosling of Java fame.
