You was right! No joking :) (how do you read this?)

Well, I don't have a choice, do I? You are not changing the docs back to 
latex, nor using MS-word, right? I'm joking here?

aahhh, you agree! But syntax highlighting is not enough for me. I also 
use Xemacs, but I don't use emacs/w3 for web browsing -- do you?
As a mater of fact I'm surprised you don't use Emacs -nw. I'm fully 
joking :)

I have a fellow colleague who does porogramming in Postscript! In a text 
editor, of course. He says that it's easier for him to "see" a 
postscript picture included in Latex that looking at it under lyx!

Was you? what half of the joke?
