[BlindMath] Question about Computer Programming

Wed Oct 9 17:09:27 UTC 2019

Hello,
The big issue I have with Emacs is its key commands. They are a pain to use and learn. I have Emacs and Emacspeak installed on my Mac. If you do use it you will need a Mac or Linux machine to use the most current versions.
