After more than 10 years vim I switched a couple of years ago to emacs, using the vanilla key bindings. I didn’t have much trouble. Just like with vim, you have to invest some time to learn basic editing commands.

Start using emacs and slowly learn more for you important key bindings.

Switching to emacs is worth the investment of time. Vim is an editor, emacs is a system and kind of a Lisp machine.

Let’s hope it shields against cosmic radiation …

Lovely looking classic machine !

Lovely raccoon

Thanks! Is that a one piece or a two piece strap?

Looks great!

Interesting to see its height compared to the keyboard. Gives something to aim for.

Before the computer era, there were rooms with rows of desks, each with a type writer. Same idea, different noise.

Often the desk of the manager was on a pedestal.

I have been wearing the new strap daily now for a couple of weeks, and indeed very comfortable
