> Eight Megs and Constantly Swapping?  Too many keystrokes to do

That was back in the days when 8MB actually meant something.  Nowadays, a
single apache child takes 230MB or so, and there are usually at least five
or ten running as spares. :)

Besides, emacs never -really- took eight.

I never had a huge problem with the amount of keystrokes, having previously
used WordStar.  Remembering some of the more arcane constructs centered
around the meta commands was a bigger deal, because it's a lot to remember.
