I almost exploded laughing reading that... but the worst thing is, I
think you're absolutely right...
OG.
PS: M-x playlist-mode anybody ? ;-)
Actually, thingsl ike a decent MP3 interface and IRC are exactly what the
users of emacspeak need. Since you never have to leave Emacs for even the
most complex thing, a lot of emacspeak users use it as their ONLY interface
to their computer. They don't care that it is emacs underneath, or linux
underneath that, they just know they can use their computer and have
everything speech enabled magically. :)
This is one of the reasons I'm trying to get the XMMS guys to decouple the
UI from their core playing engine, so that a decent Emacs interface could
be written to it, and combine that with my plans for a realaudio plugin for
XMMS, and they can have a TTY-only, completely speech-enabled funhouse. :)
