I'm pretty sure that I recall a quote somewhere comparing a programmer
building an IDE with emacs being like a Jedi building their own lightsaber
as a part of their training.

I know it could sound like silly enthusiasm to some, but I kind of like that
idea.  How did Ben Kenobi say it?  "Not as clumsy or random as a blaster. 
An elegant weapon of a more civilized day."

I've been hunting for the original source of the quote.  My searches on the
net haven't turned it up.  I discussed it with one of my friends who is a
real emacs fan and he had not heard or seen the quote before.  I'm pretty
sure I didn't come up with it on my own.

Would anyone be aware of an attribution to a quote like this?  I'd like to
repeat it.

Thanks,

   --Bruce
