Are you sure? I just read that, and I couldn't find any
secretaries, or any "don't mention programming". It was about how
good Emacs is, compared to what was there before.

The only interesting thing (that I thought, anyway) was when he
said Emacs has brought about an enthusiasm for Lisp. I had Common
Lisp at university, but I would *never* have done a fraction of
all this Elisp, if it weren't for Emacs. So that's spot on.
