Apparently the failures are due to two disimilar, incompatible materials used in the parking ramp.

I bought one of those 7 inch mini laptops on Ali Express. I'm a touch typist, and I can't touch type on its keyboard, but I can type pretty fast while looking at the keyboard. Some of the keys are in unusual places, those could be remapped if you have more ambition than me. I find it perfectly adequate for emacs, web browsing, email, even gimp and libreoffice on the road. I wouldn't want to write more than a page or two on that keyboard.
He says he's running emacs on an ipad, but he's not. He's running it on a Mac mini.
The History seems warped. If you're going to trace emacs back to ITS, then you need to trace vim back to Bill Joy and vi.
