Our COBOL based system has MAXDATE = 31 Dec 9999

I tried to set a reference year to 9999 to temporarily disable a thing, but a mid-range system couldn’t handle it, we had to use 2099

You can’t spare 8 meg? I have games that want 8 gig

You operate better in Emacs if you touch type, but you should learn to touch type if you work in an editor a lot
