The first classiccmpy thing I ever did (remember, I'm relatively new :-))
was attach a VT220 to what was then my Linux box so that I could code on
it while my girlfriend (now wife) surfed www. I ran into that particular
problem in emacs when doing that experiment.

What was fun about the whole thing was the set of interesting ways I
could, umm, modify her X session from my VT220. :-)
