I don't log out. Server is up 24/7. Problem is that I don't
want to have to worry about an emacs session being open to run the
client. I do many things at once, and if I accidently close emacs, I
have to restart it to get my email. Dual Pentium II processors with
3 128M ram sticks on a SCSI system. Two iterations of SetiAtHome
(1/CPU), Lyx, Netscape (memory hog) and multiple small stuff running
on one of 3 screens, Emacs starts with no noticable delay even if an
Emacs window *is* open. There's a small delay if Blender or GRASS is
running on a screen. Faster? That's not my problem. No simple laziness
is my problem. It's just too difficult for me to type three control
sequences when I can type two :-) My hands are used to two, and I
don't want to change... Unless, of course, I can type just one :-)
What did Larry Wahl say about laziness? Unfortunately, I don't know
lisp.
