</div>I'm perfectly OK with emacs if I knew anything about it. :) I know it's a little OT to ask, but if anyone knows of a slow, to-the-point tutorial for emacs that will cover getting me cool with the keyboard shortcuts, I'm all ears. org-mode looks awesome, but those keyboard shortcuts are *damn* hard to learn.<br>
