* Wow!  Thanks for posting this topic and your techela.

* Suggest an "Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp" and OrgMode be
everyone's first, and maybe last, required course in grade school--other
than Reading, Writing and Arithmetic of course!

* Suggest all students download this free book and conquer it:

** A masterpiece by Robert J. Chassell.

* Also suggest his free online copy of "Software Freedom: An Introduction",
for more philosophy on the Free Software movement, to benefit students and
teachers.

** Most especially chapter 13, which covers why non-free software limits
learning--and a whole lot more:
