EMACS = Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping.

 Of coruse, nowadays you can't do much of anything in 8MB of RAM. 
Although I do remember running linux in 8MB of ram. With X. And it 
didn't swap *that* much. At least until I started up emacs. :-)

And if you really want to start a war, try this:

XEmacs >> Emacs

now sit back and watch the flames.
