Richard Stallman (RMS) wrote EMACS - a text editor that had programmable Elisp (like 
BASIC but better) Macros.
It is an interface to do everything with - newgroups, email, text searching, diff, 
coding, or any UNIX command.
He was actually the first to start the GNU liscense- the basis for Linux's popularity.
He got a genius grant from MIT to write free software.
So while the eMac is a computer, EMACS is a piece of software.

I'm sure I got something wrong and I do mix the names up too.
It highlights HTML when and will start HTML page code for you.
I like it much better than any of the other editors available for Linux or Windows 
except for GXedit which I 
didn't see included in Mandrake's GNOME package.
