Dan Weinreb (one of the co-founders of Symbolics, along with Moon,
Holloway, and Knight) finally has spoken publicly about RMS, the start
of Project GNU, and why Symbolics failed.

Note that Moon and Greenburg (both hot-shot hackers easily as good or
better than Stallman) weigh in about the origins of emacs in the
comment thread.

Also, apparently wnj (Bill Joy) was the "unix hacker" who didn't
understand the "PC loser-ing problem" (PCLSRing), as referenced in
