I disagree, but that's cool.

Yes, but I believe that encouraging use of open source systems is
better.

Because we felt that 21.5 was too buggy and slow. We wanted to launch

You have a SXEmacs that runs in "server" mode handling all the "behind

The server would handle multiple connections from multiple users, both
local and remote.
