A year! How did you have the patience to plod on for that long?

Time flies when you're having fun?

Maybe we don't realize how long it takes to acquire a new skill.

If someone had told me it would take a year to just become comfortable with emacs, I would never have picked it up. I already have sublime installed, and textmate!

But I picked it up because I respected people I knew who were wielding with great skill, and I wanted to try org-mode for TODO lists.

I'm glad I did.
