Is there a film documentary available somewhere showing you how you use Emacs? God knows I've tried and tried to get the hang of it and still find myself heavily disliking Emacs.
I want to visually experience someone else using Emacs to see if it's really more efficient to do things like mail, news, web browsing (??!? how do you do that without graphics?) in it.
I don't see it displacing SciTE as my favorite editor anytime, but perhaps Mozilla as my email/news client of choice...?
