Hello Emacsers,

I relocated from Silicon Valley to Berlin at the end of last month and 
am looking forward to meeting new people.  Ich kann auch Deutsch, aber 
angeblich nutze diese Liste Englisch.

I first used emacs in 1984 when I was a beginning graduate student at 
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where emacs was developed.   In 
fact, when I was a student, I sometimes saw RMS on campus or somewhere 
nearby.   I've spoken with him a few times in recent years, for example 
at the LibrePlanet gathering hosted by Free Software Foundation.

Back in the 1980's, I had the famous spiral-bound emacs yellow book.     
  I think that my former boyfriend still has my copy.

My favorite emacs features are the rectangle-manipulation and 
register-related ones.   I'm running version 30.1, which is what Debian 
Testing currently provides.

Enough for now,
Alison
