Octavian: You need to explain yourself.

What is the meaning of "of course" in your message?

What's that about?

Also, why are you rebooting? That's your hangover from Windows.

Get a clue. That's not the way to get out of trouble.

Your emacs is probably working just fine, and you can probably
get back to your buffer list with c-x c-b

Now, instead of whining at the first sign of trouble, why not
study how to use the program a bit? Have you read the tutorials?
What can you succeed with? Or, did you just come here to say:

"of course"

to us.

I won't accept that. Not from you, not from anyone.
