Yes, Carsten, that you ever so much for such a life changing piece of
software!  The best measure of its success, for me, is that org
is the *only* PIM I have used that not only lasted more than a few
weeks (and I have tried many over the years) but actually expanded to
include *all* of my activities (writing, code development, finances,
emails, ...).

The fact that my /smartphone/ is not what I would call /smart/ because
it doesn't run emacs natively is all down to org!

As you say, long live text based applications!

Enjoy your life away from org.

And all the best to Bastien.  Very good hands to pass the torch onto.
