Re: fringes

[Greg Hill]

Chuck,

Not quite unique.  I have been so annoyed with many of the 
"improvements" in emacs-21 that, instead spending my time trying to 
"customize them away," I just stick with emacs-20 and add to it the 
occasional emacs-21 feature that I find to be useful.  All of the 
"improvements" to Emacs-21 (like the "fringes" and "tool-bar") that 
are immediately obvious to anyone familiar with previous versions 
appear to have been designed by an escapee from the Microsoft asylum.
