Back years ago, my favorite joke was that emacs stands for 'eight megs 
and continuously swapping.'  Of course that makes no sense now, but back 
when your box maxxed out at 4 meg, it certainly did. :)  Not a whole lot 
of swap either, on those two 75 meg drives.  I still find it amazing we 
were running UNIX and applications on that footprint.
