I used to fear GNU/Emacs, and believe you had to take 2 extra years on
the univerisity in order to be able to write a simple c-program in it.

However, when I found out how to get out of GNU/Emacs (C-x C-c), and 
I went to the tutorial .. it didn't take long for me to love emacs.

This was back in the mid-nineties - I've been using GNU/Emacs ever
since, without exploiting the advanced features very much.

One thing I learn a lot from, is examples .. like
        "Jill uses planner to keep track of her plans at school, 
        she uses planner like this: <insert explanation>"

Would be cool with a real simple example, and some real life examples.

Anyhow ... I've not really got started with planner yet, just what I 
imagine would be great.

I didn't get worried about the TaskPool, i just thought "cool" .. but
maybe thats because I don't know what it is yet. ;)
