I'm starting to figure this whole mess out ...

Eli used Windows for so long. This age-long state of
entrapment, no doubt a horrible experience without any end in
sight, made him idealize the alternative, Unix.

However, recognizing his contribution to Emacs, a loosely-knit
group of GNU, Linux and BSD hackers at last managed to crack
the window, brake thru to the other side, and liberate Eli
from his confinement.

Alas, it was too late! At that time, Eli was stuck in that
endless mind loop. To this day he is still relentlessly
searching for that ideal, perfect Unix, the alternative to his
dreadful window - the Unix fantasy, daydream and little peace
of hope that made him endure all those years ...

Can we set him free a second time?

Or will true Unix forever remain - a dream?
