Aquamacs  Yesterday I was trying to update the shop Web site on Mac OS X. I don't normally use OS X for anything other than to start Quickbooks. I tried using Word and TextEdit and didn't feel like struggling to figure out how to edit and save and html file (I later discovered that TextEdit should work fine editing html given a few tricks). I searched around for a copy of emacs to download, but couldn't quickly find an easy way to do it. I ended up using AppleWorks which worked OK, although the linefeeds were all screwed up.

Today I was reading Tim Bray's ongoing and discovered Aquamacs, an OS X emacs implementation that sounds like just what I need. Installation looks pretty easy as well: download the installation file and drag it to the /Applications folder. We'll see.
