I use emacs as the only interface to my computer. I am mostly blind and use emacspeak to do everything that I need to do. With this setup I: surf the web using emacs-w3m read news, email, and rss feeds with gnus use all the text editor stuff for config files, lisp code, html, etc. manipulate files using dired use the shell for things I find easier to do there, such as output manipulation via pipes Listen to music on cd and streaming media from the net using a lisp interface to cd-tool and mplayer I don't even run a window manager. I just start emacs from my .xsession file. I am not saying that this will work for everyone. If you are used to point-clicky interfaces you might not like emacs. Manipulating graphics files is, I believe, a no-go, but viewing them works. If you use your computer a lot, learning emacs will probably be a big productivity booster. You just have to stick with it and make it around the learning curve. After that, most everything's gravy. rdc -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Robert D.
