sigh yes I remember 1.0 taking up a lot of my 160mb hard disk.
Things I remember: changing the command line font was mindblowing. I managed to get xeyes to run, but not a window manager, so I just had massive eyes following the cursor around. I compiled a lot of my really shoddy C code but had no idea what I was doing. The number of disks that Emacs needed felt disproportionate at 5 when MS Word 2.0 fitted on 3, and Doom fitted on 3 and a half.
It was all very exciting, and felt like you were “sticking it to the man” by not using ms-dos :-)
These days I just use computers as a tool, and as such I have Linux Mint on my home machine.
