A while back I bought the Learning GNU Emacs book and only half-heartedly got into it but was side-tracked with irl obligations. Now that I have more free time, I've spent the past couple days getting back into doing programming stuff and going through the Emacs book very slowly.

I'm about 20% of the way through it now and I had my "oh poo poo this is awesome" moment a little while ago when I learned how to do C-x 2, C-x 3, C-x o, C-x 0. Twenty minutes later, I realized I haven't touched the mouse in forever. It's a good feeling.

edit--It's like from that Will Ferrell Brothers movie or whatever, where they make the bunk bed and are like "oh man, there's so much room now for... activities."
