A second, do I hear a second? :-) :-) :-)
Dr. Andrew Piper, Come On Down! You're our next winner! Johnny, tell
Andrew about all the prizes he has won ...[1]
Well Andrew, you're going to be kept plenty busy in the next coming
months because you're the proud new owner of one quarter of a million
lines of source XEmacs code![2] This prize is worth at least US$2
Million[3] to rewrite from scratch!!!![4]
But that's not all ... You also will be taking home with you,[5]
almost a million lines of Emacs Lisp source code written by some of
the best minds on the planet!!!!![6]
Dr. Andrew Piper, you're a winner!
After a break from our sponsors we'll be back to interview our winner ...
... Applause ...
Hmmm. I guess better go home and get some sleep, eh?
