Summary: How about a spreadsheet in TECO?
Xref: mnetor net.jokes:9689 net.text:913


The best story I heard was that someone at DEC (where I used to work)
actually did write one of the very first spreadsheet programs -- in
DEC TECO.

Oh well, anyway you can do much better in GNUEmacs. It has a better
debugger than most systems.

Ko-an:

And the student went to the Master and said, "Enlighten me." So the
master handed the student a very difficult and tedious book, say, the
CLU Reference Manual. So the student went off for a long time and then
came running back to the Master and said, "Master, I understand! I am
ENLIGHTENED!" So the master took the book and put it in the toaster.
The student cried "Wait! Why do you do that?" And the Master said, "I
want the toaster to be enlightened, too."

CLU makes all problems equally hard.................................bc
