Hah! To XEmacs' credit, it does at least have a few games - Tetris being
one. I was on a training course a few years ago doing basic Shell stuff
for Tru64, and being a clever clogs I already knew it all, so I spent my
time playing tetris. If it wasn't for Emacs there wouldn't have been
anything for me to play...
