I think we need it now.  This evening I went on an odyssey looking for an 
editor.  I use a 486 PC, and my employer just got a Silicon Graphics 
workstation.  Since I'll be programming on both, I figured I should learn 
an editor that's common to both.  emacs seemed like the one.

The SG version of emacs consumes 21 MB of disk space!  The 
limited-feature one for a PC appears to consume over 6 MB!  Just for a 
text editor!  I think that what I really need to do is look for Unix and 
DOS versions of SpeedScript.

Been years since I used my C-64, but I still miss SpeedScript.
